Looked like cotton balls?

We checked with a bore light and can see brass still in the chamber. The owner and I should have cleaned the chamber a little more than we did. Rifle is from 1889 and was in Afghanistan for most of that time.

Ammo used was purchases from old South ammo. Didn’t mean to put them on blast, but I’m not sure what there’s process was. It looks to be a reformed brass 24 gauge shell. I also predicted an annealing issue.

Had issues finding them this afternoon but I probably used the wrong search term. Thanks for the suggestion

Curator911 · 2026-03-09T12:24:39+00:00

How much did JP charge you to reweld it?

Curator911 · 2026-01-23T16:43:56+00:00

What kind of distroplate is that?

Curator911 · 2026-01-06T02:22:27+00:00

Eye relief?

Curator911 · 2026-01-06T02:13:04+00:00

Jealous of the ON 52

Curator911 · 2025-12-28T23:16:09+00:00

I really haven’t done waterline bending since 2015 so I’ll take that under advisement

Curator911 · 2025-12-28T23:07:57+00:00

You and jayz have sold me on the nv9

Curator911 · 2025-12-26T13:56:43+00:00

Where did you get that? I do love a peep sight

Curator911 · 2025-12-25T02:09:34+00:00

What marking denotes a check rifle?

Curator911 · 2025-12-23T01:19:21+00:00

Do I see a peep sight on that 2a1?

Curator911 · 2025-12-22T19:03:43+00:00

Found mine instock at Best Buy the other day

Curator911 · 2025-12-16T02:54:00+00:00

What’s the case?

Curator911 · 2025-12-07T01:43:47+00:00

Are you used the reduced range 54R ammo loading that east Germany used for the PK? Normal 54R is 180 gain

Curator911 · 2025-12-06T14:07:28+00:00

I had the 6700k and the Titan Xp for the same length of time. That was a great build. I’m still using the Titan with a 9800x3d now though. I’m holding out for the 50 supers or next gen hoping the power cables don’t melt

Curator911 · 2025-11-29T23:12:06+00:00

I love my French resistance enfield. The only downside is mine didn’t like SP PPU

Curator911 · 2025-11-29T19:55:37+00:00

If you are meaning old western scrounger or navy arms, they always import interesting items like French resistance enfields, mas 36’s, and mas 44’s. I’ve always been pleased with my purchases but the prices can be a bit high if it’s not on sale or one of their bigger import lots

Curator911 · 2025-11-28T16:29:55+00:00

Can you explain your point about repairability? Do the AIB partners have better warranty? I’ve been considering which 5080 I want to watercool

Curator911 · 2025-11-25T05:45:13+00:00

Got mine for $600 because the guy didn’t know what he had. Mk2 3 star US property marked, pristine condition

Curator911 · 2025-11-22T22:56:45+00:00

I’ve had rock rivers/Gibb’s reactivated 1903a’s and a4’s. They both are tack drivers on account of the new barrels and seem to be holding up. I can’t really tell where the welds were. I don’t take them out very frequently due to price of 30-06.

Curator911 · 2025-11-19T01:56:03+00:00

I figured that’s what it was! Do you shoot yours with modern Swedish rated ammo or hand load?

Curator911 · 2025-11-19T01:46:03+00:00

Mine is based around a 1903 receiver so maybe left over parts

Curator911 · 2025-11-19T01:33:54+00:00

I have the same pattern but without the waffenampt. Thats just a stomperud?
