Old Guns
OK Guys;
I do not have any relationship with this site but they do have some good tear down information on the older rifles and pistols. Drag down the left side and follow the links. They may help you get a weapon tore down without breaking something.

Pete, Thank there are some other sites that help to, Gun Parts and Brownell, but you may have to be registered too.
The Gun Parts catalog is great with exploded diagrams. But as always with my luck, the rifle I have to take down is never in any of the books or resources I have available.

Having a passion for pop guns, I thought I would revive this thread. Shoots a hoops and a hollar across the field. Edited to remove the modern terminology that was inappropriately applied; "a 1000 Meter shooter.."

I think they had "hoops and hollars", such as he lives a hoop and a hollar down the valley. Funny thing, I was thinking about that before I logged on.
The range is in eastern Oregon.
Jatx, yes it is 45/70. Some of the people shoot, the 45/90 and some of the other calibers.

Chains and stuff

Chains
Gunter's (Surveyor's) Chain 100 links, 66 feet or 20.1 meters
Engineer's Chain 100 links, 100 feet or 30.48 meters
Then
Furlong 1/8 mile or 220 yards (201.2 meters)
Then of course Feet, Yards and Miles.
But then we have the Nautical Mile that since 1959 has been standardized as equal to one minute of arc of a great circle of the earth. Better said as 6,076.11549 feet or 1,852 meters.
How far to the top of the next hill?
