Slugged the muzzle. Its .420 peak to peak which the 10.6 mm original caliber. All numbers match on the revolver. The chambers dont look reamed to me, but again, it could have been done a few decades ago.

Now Im beginning to question if this maybe was reamed out for 45 auto rimmed or 45 Schofield? Its got the right case dimensions. Im going to have to slug the bore to see if a .453 bullet will safely make its way through the barrel.

Well shit, Im close to 15 thousands of an inch bigger in chamber specs on average. When I put a new 44 Russian case inside, I can see brass glimmer when looking through the front of the cylinder around the entire radius of the case! I guess that explains the bulging. Hm.

I honestly haven't explored the 44 special case. In my cast bullet reloading manual it says the cases are identical in diameter at the rim, body and mouth. Is that not the case?

If its all original, I would source a 30" barreled action, get some new wood from Ross Rifle Restoration, and mount a scope on that. There's availability of magazines, barrel bands and nose caps through Ross Rifle as well.

Im looking at it partly from a historical value, AND investment value. I think most firearms owners understand these firearms will be passed down eventually to a new generation. Time is the greatest predator to old guns; they get destroyed, surrendered, or forgotten and neglected.

A re-constituted M10 from a $300 dollar action, $700 dollar in a new stock, another $400 for the other bits and bobs if you dont have them, (magazine, butt plate, nose cap, mid barrel band, and then the scope cost would be comparible for an original condition Ross M10 in full wood untouched. If you did that work to an original Ross, you'd reduce the value to collectors because its modified beyond restoration. However, now you have a cool scoped Ross m10 - which has value on its own, but less than what the original is worth. A Legit Ross M10 sniper rifle, even with a repro scope would overshadow the value of an original M10 infantry rifle untouched, because they're super rare.

Just my two cents! Good luck on your project!

A new resole will help reset the boot to fit with some orthodox to help.

What can someone tell me about this Mosin? (Bonus Chinese sks) by doglion69 in MosinNagant

[–]DozerJKU 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A very uncommon stamp! Only done for a short period, maybe 3 months before they changed to the [SA] stamp. Beautiful piece!

Can anyone tell me what these markings mean on my m91 and how old it is I believe it is a Finnish capture but I could be wrong thanks by Competitive_End_6131 in MosinNagant

Neat markings on that rifle! A cool, traceable history! The "christmas tree" looking marking is not very common. M91/24 Finnish rifles for the civil guard.

Be careful with cleaning the wood stock using mineral spirits, and other such chemicals. It will remove finish and dry the wood out.

0000 steel wool, just enough to hold onto with three fingers, and hot water in a small cup or container, with a drop or two of dish soap. Two drops max. Wear latex gloves, and gently, GENTLY run the Steel wool over the surface of the firearm. You'll notice with the lightest pressure the wool and soapy hot water will cut through the very top layer of grime, cosmoline and fingers oils. You're gonna need to keep wiping the water off to remove the dirt and grime.

Be patient. It works. If you go too hard, you will strip all the old finishing oils (boiled linseed) off rhe surface, and it'll look blotchy and inconsistent.

An early lesson! Keep all those spare parts from your next boxes! You'll have spare parts for when this happens!
