Reworked Rolling Block

I have bought my Pedersoli Roller for 10 Years ago, did his work reliable all time long but as a Gun out of Stock it`is an ugly gun and was not what i like to see.
I found some old pictures of original Sporting Rollers No.1 and take a decision for a rework . Barrel and Actionbox are sanded and browned with Danglers in different coats. Polished and oiled finaly with WD 40 and Ballistol.
Forearm reworked and poured in a pewter Nosecup.
Barrel Sights: MVA Rought and Ready sight reinstalled .
Frontsight rebuild from a Basic Winchester front, cut at Base and sawed in a slot. A piece of Brass revised to a "Penny look"

from Time to Time a change the Sights for Targetwork

hereby some Riflepics and other Stuff

Hello Klaus,

  I like the overall look of your rifle and it looks like you have it shooting quite well. The browning on the barrel turned out nice and gives it the appearance of an original with patina.

Your finish gives the rifle a nice look. It also looks like it is a good shooter. Smiley
