I took a few photos today.
A 2 year wait for this custom build as I ordered it when I retired in 2018. I cast my own 520 gr bullets using a BACO "Money Bullet" mold and make my own cartridges with black powder. Its a slow process but its a hobby that has history! Caliber: 45/70 Barrel: 30" heavy Octagonal Wood: Semi-fancy Walnut Buttplate: Traditional Steel Metal Finish: Pack hardened Brass Escutcheons Fireblued polish screws Custom bedding Custom long range sights by Steve Baldwin: rear Vernier Tang and bubble-leveled globe front with interchangeable silhouette patterns.

That is one beautiful rifle... Nice grain and figure on the stock particularly. Congrats SD. Wow a 2 year wait makes the NFA process seem reasonable

That wood is a guaranteed woody.
And the color case hardening is... Well, as Robin Williams once said "I have a hard-on the size of Florida!" _________________ Jay The Right to Buy Weapons Is the Right to Be Free |

For those interested in the bullet build...
After measure Ogive, I made a dummy bullet (no powder, primer) and noticed the starline brass would not fit the chamber. These cases were used in my springfield trapdoor and I fixed the issue by doing a resizing full body length, then they fit the Sharps chamber fine! After primering and belling the mouths, I proceded in making 20 test loads. 65 gr (*by volume, then trickle by weight) Old Enysford 2F black powder .030 greased veggie wad Compressed with a Montana Compression die .090 520 gr BACO "Money Bullet" compressed the load further by .100 Taper crimped ever so slightly to eliminate the bell (so they would fit the chamber) Wiped their butts and chambered each load to insure they *fit* _________________ "I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me."- Hunter S.

if you need front sight inserts, check this guy out
http://stores.leeshavergunsmithing.com/front-sight-insert-cards/ I've bought some for my Remington 513T and it's pretty cool to be able to change the reticle that's better for my eyes |
