    Gordon Kahnke 54 Cal Rifle

    Hello Everyone, I came across 54 Cal rifle made by Gordon Kahnke (according to the seller) and it does look like a nice little rifle. I'm just curious if anyone here had/has one and can share some thoughts on quality/reliability etc. I have found some patents online describing the rifle and its...

    Need advice on rusty barrel

    Hello Everyone, I know it’s been a long time since I promised posting the results of my rusty barrel cleaning adventures. I do apologize for the delay. Below you can find some images I was able to take. In the end, after multiple cleaning attempts, I think this barrel can be declared not fit...

    I would agree with you here. The mechanism works very well. Like new :)

    You are likely right, because the barrel is "painted" with some sort of shiny substance I described earlier, and there are noticeable scratches underneath this coat.

    Need help identifying this smoothbore

    You are absolutely right, this is stylized "W". The "problem" I see here, and mind you I'm not an expert by any means, the way the name is engraved. Can you see those two parallel lines on top with one going right through the name? Would you ever do this if you were a respected gun maker? I...

    What throws me off here is "London" mention on the lock plate. I thought guns made in England would have some identification marks on barrels. Which doesn't seem to be the case here.

    Need advice on rusty barrel

    Thanks very much for your input guys! I think I'll start with less invasive approach first and then go chemicals. I'd rather try different methods instead of flushing the barrel right from the start. I will be posting results here. But first I need to get my equipment ready :) I'm basically a...

    Need advice on rusty barrel

    Hello Everyone! I have found quite a few discussions here on how to remove rust. Vinegar and Evapo-rust seem to be the most popular solutions. However, I’d like to hear your opinion on my particular case. The attached image shows the barrel’s current state. I don’t know if this can be...

    Well that’s the actual problem, because there are no marks on the barrel except those I already mentioned. I’m attaching one more pic. You haven’t seen the hammer and percussion part yet :) Pictures attached.
