DANISH REMINGTON ROLLING BLOCK RIFLE M 1867 MANUAL

I couldn't even imagine shooting something like a Nepalese manufactured Enfield like the Gahendra. I am hesitant to fire guns of good manufacture of the BP vintage. I also don't push my WWII vintage guns in. But I will do so with great deliberation and care. Will i even shoot the Trapdoor? I don't know. The message is clear: KNOW what you are doing, and treat old weapons with weak or unknown metallurgy and history with the utmost of care and respect. The good news was that somehow, the shooter survived, albeit he definitely got injured. The receiver had peeled along the top, and a bunch of other parts were mangled as well. The guy told me that this was the direct result of converting a Rolling Block from a low pressure Black Powder cartridge to a modern, very high pressure whoop-de-doo ultra magnum of some sort. I went to a gun show several years ago, and one of the vendors had a cigar box filled with what was left of a Rolling Block. Then it's purchase the dies, and a Lee mould, and I should be in business.ДЄnd, yes, I have no illusion that this is a super strong gun: I know it's a 130+ year old gun, so it will be treated very gingerly (I saw the picture of the blown up Swedish RB that the guy fired who knows what out of). I am waiting for Buffalo Arms to have the proper brass available. 45-70 rounds will fit,Д«ut is it wise, as there is a slight difference in diameter of the loaded case? I think it will work as a field expedient, but that's as far as it goes. 45-70, and have found the same thing that you state. Howie, I appreciate your advice! I have compared the 11.7 x 5 x to the. It is hindered by the awful sights so I may remove them and mount a tang/vernier sight instead.ДЄnyone else shoot one of these converted Danish rifles? They are certainly fun to shoot, especially when getting better groups than the guys with ARs and red-dots beside me at the range. I got a few 3-hole touching groups over the course of the evening, so I think the rifle can shoot. So results at 25 yards (farthest I shot for groups)

Consult a loading manual before trying any load in any of your rifles. and it shoots great and stays subsonic in whatever rifle I have tried it in. This is a pet load I have used in Trapdoors, Sharps, etc. So finally I got a chance to take it out to the range this evening with some 45/70 cast loads:ДЈ50 grain 460 Hammer mold cast from wheelweights. The rear sight is a replacement of some kind and rather wobbly so I had shimmed it with some cardboard to keep it steady. Tang markings: Kjobenhavns Toihuus 1888, so Copenhagen Arsenal. However, the action was good and the bore was great, which is what sold it for me. It also had a funky rear sight, certainly not original, and I am not sure where it came from. So the collector value is pretty much gone. The above, except for making cases, comes from 'Summary: The Remington Rolling Block Weapons used by the Danish Army' by Bjorn Nielsen.I picked up a Danish Rolling block last year that had been 'cleaned up' by someone polishing all the patina off, and converting it to 45/70. 45-70 cases to the proper diameter then trimmed the cases to 45mm total length. Because of this, the rim portion of the chamber is still at the original chamber specifications and the rim of a. 45-70 chamber reamer into them so they could be sold as '45-70 caliber'. As these have a short chamber they were probably not good candidates for importers in the 1960s to run a. The original rimfire cartridge had a 42mm case. I have two of these Danish rifles with this sight: one Danish and one Remington. This rifle is referred to as the Model 1867/83. If the graduations ARE crossed out, then the sight has been re regulated for meters after 1889. Pre metric Europe used various measurements.Russians used 'arshins'. I can't tell from the photo but, if the graduations are NOT crossed out, then it is the original 1883 rear sight graduated in the Danish measurement for 'Alens'. Yes, it is correct for a period of time in Denmark.
