.44/77 Fired at Last

[Caprock]

I understand that some of the Baco brass was really thick and other batches were thin enough to allow use of the .446 bullet. Mine was evidently the former. .43 Spanish brass from Jamison is good but also too thick for my roller....all this was one of the reasons I went to paper patch.

Remingtons are notoriously difficult to measure the groove because of the 5 groove rifling they used so mine at 451 is an avg guessimate but fairly close I think. My bore has "salt and Pepper" pitting for about six inches in front of the chamber mouth then gets pretty slick.

Yeah, a sliding buckhorn, RR, and beach front was pretty common on the rimfires I don't think this particular sight is original to the rifle but Remington did offer one that is similar. These are all covered for the most part in Marcots book.
