I am suggesting that you fit a NEW motor. Forget the old one a new motor foot control set fits by one bolt in the same way as the old one. It would cost little about $30 and would be more powerful. One bolt and throw the old one away.

Before I start I am a Sewing Machine repairer full time. The model in the images is a copy of a Singer 15. The motor is the standard fitting for almost all machines with 'outside' motors.

I do a lot of anealing as my interest is loading obscure calibres. Joes way by standing them in water is standard practice and works well as the body of the case is unaffected.

Well it's your history rather than mine but don't forget the Sharps and Remington Buffalo rifles. They were responsible for the most efficient round of ethnic cleansing in world history.

Over here we honour and respect 'our' Gurkhas. Recently in an attempt to cut down on imigration, our government removed some of the right to residency for Gurkhas.

Here is another posibility.
Traditionaly made double guns had their barrels/ribs soft soldered together.
Solder is lead.... Lead oxidises.... Lead oxide is black (try polising a lead bullet).

I agree with Chad.
I have had good results from the Remington Society forum.
A cheap alternative (certainly here in the UK) is the Swedish Rolling Blocks in 12.7X44R. The round is similar to the 50/70 Govt. and can be reloaded with 50/70 dies. I have 2 of these and they shoot well.

The Pattern 14 Enfield would have been a .276 if WWI hadn't gotten in the way. The .276 was given the number P13 When it was abandoned because we were at war it was altered to .303 (P14) ands made in the US. It was then made in 30-06 and issued to US forces as p17. Later the P17 was sent to the UK ...

To me it's a 'no brainer'.
Anneal your cases, shoot them and then reload without resizing.
Due to the type of guns I own I often have to do this. I have an Evans with a deformed chamber and two 12.7 Rolling blocks one of which has an enlarged chamber.

British sailors were also known as Jack Tars. I believe it was the practice with their long pigtails to use tar as a probable form of vermin control in the early unsanitary seagoing environment.

How does it shoot? Surely that is what matters. I have several guns with sights that look odd but as long as they shoot straight I leave them alone. My Evans has a foresight that look like a previous owner has been at it with a pair of pliers. He probably has and for a reason. It shoots with great a...
