Rev War Cav Saber with broke
gurd and missing the leather and wire on the grip
|
|
Original Henry sent to me for restoration.
Most of the internal parts were missing.
|
Original bolt (above) and the one I made
from scratch. The extractor was missing and the firing pin was frozen in the bolt. I had to cut the firing pin in half to
get the bolt out of the receiver. Check out the 2 piece firing pin. Not too shabby since I had nothing to go use as a reference.
|
Original
bolt (above) and the new bolt fully assembled and properly aged.

Parts
for the Henry that I fit or made from scratch. Some were reproduction parts and some were original Win 73 parts. I enjoy rebuilding/restoring
antique guns, but I tend to pick and choose my projects. I use it as a departure from what I call "everyday run of the
mill gunsmithing".
