Just landed! I'm stoked to start making some periodish correct linen cartridges. I have the Eras Gone Richmond Laboratories bullet mold that I'm going to use for my first batch of cartridges.

I figured it would also be nice to have a lighter, stainless steel rifle that’s faster loading and easier to clean. Before I go to the range to sight in a scope, I usually start with my poor-man’s bore-sighting technique. That... Read more ..read more
