Was there a problem with the barrel bands? Not sure I caught that one.
Thanks for the pics - now we know what they're supposed to look like! Congrats!!

Not a problem with the bands. They were just installed backwards when I first got the rifle.

I have seen evidence of these rifles only in the event that some of the parts were used during some repair or rebuild, but the only time I have seen a original complete rifle like yours was in books. What a jewel.

The photo of the cleaning rod head also shows an excellent condition muzzle. I bet you that rifle sat in a rack, on it's buttplate for years without getting moved. Maybe sitting in a dark warm closet hoping to see the light of day eventually, hiding from bubba. Congrats and thanks for sharing.
Damn, I'll bet that's going to leave a mark! Probably hurt too!

Stop touching shit with your bare hands! At least it's not the hand you shake with, you can pick up a disease handling shit, worms, bacteria, who knows what else.
