I've repaired 40+ Smith's over the decades this way and never a problem or screw coming back out. And Tom is correct about the deep hole under the...

Here's a view after test fire. Smoothed out sides a bit and blew out last of bubble gum.

Yeah I kind of wondered if this would be a one use deal. I stirred up the batch and packed the cavity - recapped the bottle. I checked in the bottle...

This 'modification' has an added benefit. The repro Smith's have a cavernous bolster under the nipple, and in my case, the carbine took several caps...

Yeah works fine. The surfaces get tacky as they cure which is not condusive to a neat smooth finish as you shape it. Plus I ran probes through thirty...

I don't have any documentation . But my Garret has a 21 and 1/2 inch barrel and it looks like it has a 1/2 inch turn from breach to muzzle. So that...

I called Nick last month and found out he's a Ballard guy, not Merrill. Bummer, but maybe someone will benefit in knowing that.

Explain please. The entire area to the right of the nipple is sealed.There is now a direct channel from the nipple straight into the flash channel.

You are Kidding aren't you. It doesn't look vary safe to me I don't won't to stand to the right of you on the line Sent from my iPhone using...

Only part I see for Merrills on eBay is a prototyped lever/plunger/receiver unit. There's nothing else but dropped bullets. Please reply with a few...

Theres parts on ebay right now.

It could possibly be what is called a Zouave carbine and those are not approved. They were made to be used as a hunting gun. A JP Murray would have a...

This is sold pending funds transaction. Mike

Yeah looking forward to Brierfield. Will be nice to not have two or three misfires before the first round (sort of) goes off.
