    Spiller & Burr: Defarb of a Defarb

    Hello, Yes! I do believe John Sexton was the author, that rings a bell! There was mention of both Atlanta and Macon manufacture, that I did not find nor know before. It’s is a well researched and well documented audible. I bookmarked it. You can see why I want to remove the original “CS” and...

    Spiller & Burr: Defarb of a Defarb

    Good morning, Thank you for saying that. I appreciate it! Why no one else has said anything about why that groove is so small on the repros is beyond me!

    WITHDRAWN Used 1853 Enfield stock

    I FINALLY got my “round tuit” and dug around for that stock. My apologies for keeping you waiting but it’s a 2 band stock for what I think is an 1858. James

    WITHDRAWN Used 1853 Enfield stock

    Good evening, Ya know I might just have one laying around somewhere and a box to fit it in. Send me dimensions of your lock because I planned on doing the same thing only I discovered the mortise was mostly off. If and when you do, it might take me a while to reply because I work an odd...

    Spiller and Burr Cylinders?

    I thought mine would be like other repro cylinders but check this out from Dixie’s catalog… That’s closer to the originals right??? James

    Spiller and Burr Cylinders?

    Hello all, With all the recent Spiller and Burr talk especially in the Wanted and Sold threads, I wanted to ask if the new imports now available have cylinders that resemble the originals? Mine has been “defarbed” years ago but I noticed after doing some research that the cylinder isn’t close...

    ‘The Thing’…you know the thing

    Thanks so much fellas! The bore needs a little TLC after having sat for a while. I took a “before” image to see how much it’ll clean up and decided to post it just for giggles. The “cauldron” on the right is for the same purposes. Know anyone gotta .52 round ball mold just sitting around, let...
