	Not much that you should do to this rifle, or it's case colors. Best to rub the whole stock wood and metal with the original Old West Snake Oil. It's the only thing I've used on all my old single shots for many decades now. (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links)

	There is just some rust on the barrel I want to take care of before it gets worse, also on the receiver around some screws, just enough to stop it from spreading.

Brass wool and some Snake Oil on it as you rub the rusty areas. Then wipe it off with a rag. A 50/50 mix of acetone and ATF also works with brass wool, or even 4/0 steel wool.

	I’ve added many photos to an attached Google folder. I hope this is acceptable. Bad link removed The notable things I’ve found are: First and foremost obviously it is a Special Military. There is no caliber marking on the barrel under the stock, only a “L.N. Walker” stamp and the serial number. It has a late #1 RB military rear barrel sight, and there is a hole in the barrel ahead of said sight, filled with something fairly hard. The trigger appears to have been modified by a shooter along the way, unless that deep crosshatching was done by Rem. The butt plate has lots of dings/dents in it, doesn’t look like corrosion. Perhaps from setting the rifle on gravel often? The bore is nearly immaculate, some very slight erosion near the breach. Anybody have any idea on value? I already have people interested in it haha. Don’t really want to sell but if the price is right, I’d rather have a house. Logan

	link won't work and google message says it's 'malformed' and ought not to be retried. Pity, too, darnit.

	no headache. that new link works well.Lotta photos there. Ya, know, looking at the buttplate, I think it's possible that it was roughed up intentionally, perhaps to give a bit of bite and stop slipping. Just a thought.

	Wish I had a un messed with Hepburn. I have three but they all have been rebarreled and or stocked.They were all that way when I bought them. I would never molest a true honest to goodness original. I am going to have one some day. Got some money saved up now so the hunt is on... JMH

I was thinking the same, you’d have to hit gravel pretty hard to do that kind of damage.

JMH I’ve got a lead on two more, saving money is hard when Hepburns are thrown at ya.

	Marcot page 155. .44-100 Remington (2 4/10 or 2 6/10 straight case) ammunition. These cartridges were introduced in 1880 for the new Remington No 3 Hepburn patent rifle.
