Rescue of a couple old rifles
      31/01/18 03:38 AM

I was handed a couple of rusty kit rifles the other day.
Both assembled.
.45 flint full stock, looks like early CVA Kentucky (original owner scribed '76 Dean-Built on the side plate), and a .50 caplock, an early CVA Mountain Rifle with 66 twist barrel and four screw patch box.

I've revived the caplock. Took a lot of barrel attention.
The flinter will take a lot more work.

Broke out the bear oil, my hands smell so damn good.
I want to get out in timber for black bear now...
