I recently did a trade with another member of the forum here, and I am recieving some Armi-sport C.S. Richmond rifle parts. With that being said, I am considering building a C.S. Richmond carbine.
Before I even think about going through this whole process, I have some questions, and any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated!
I believe I am am getting a lock plate, butt plate, nose cap, and bands.
1. Will these parts even work with\for the carbine?
2. Looking online, I see that S&S sells a stock for the Richmond carbine, does anyone have any expirence with these stocks?
3. Also online, I believe it is Chippa (?) firearms? Is this the importer for Armi-Sport? Can parts be bought directly from them?
4. What are the lock internals? Are they 1855 or 61 parts?
5. What is the trigger bow and guard assembly?
6. Does anybody make the sling swivel that screws directly into the stock at the rear of the tigger guard?
I have "tinkered" and learned through trial and error how to fix and repair minor problems over the years, I just have never fully assembled a carbine or rifle before. Also, where can I find the spec. sheets for the Richmond carbine? I know many of you have years of expirence on repairing and buildling these types of carbines and any suggestions or advice would be GREATLY appreciated!
I also have email John Holland on the subject, and I am sure he will give me much info., I just want to throw this out here to the general forum for ANY info. I can get.
