Barrel is smoothbore but everything functions and is now lubricated. Anyone know where to get barrel relined besides Redman’s and Lugerman?

Old PS1 MTH Railking 4020 Big Boy, love the loco but the bell kinda annoys me. Anyway i can add a more realistic bell without doing to much. Possibly 3D print?

Always been fascinated by shipwrecks and decided to get a few coins from a local antique shop in St. Thomas.

Owner was very polite and answered any questions I had and specialized in maritime antiques. For both NGC slabs i paid $119 each and the non-slabbed coin is from El Cazador and paid $55.

If anyone can tell me where i should go from here to get the collection going would be appreciated or just how i did

Thanks!

SMLE III that’s been sporterized. Still has it’s 25in barrel but the front sight seems welded on

I know it’s pretty cooked but i figured my $200 RTI saved Mannlicher would be a good fist attempt at re-bluing (cold) Took the gun apart expecting dead bugs but was surprisingly clean. Someone took a wire brush to the exposed metal. During the process i the barrel came in contact with water and that’s how these rust chunks former. The pitting and corrosion is the same.

Anything that can be done to restore grooves a bit and chunks of rust? I can’t tell of that’s stuck copper fouling or what but i took several photos down the barrel

I have shot this at an indoor range and it did well holding a decent zero free handed at 40 ft. It’s mostly a wall hanger that occasionally shoots.

Thanks
