Seieren ved Rorke's Drift bidro til å ta deler av oppmerksomheten bort fra nederlaget ved Isandlwana. Dette er det høyeste antall Victoria Cross-medaljer som er utdelt til ett enkelt regiment for en enkelt trefning. Etter slaget ved Rorke's Drift ble det delt ut hele 11 Victoria Cross-medaljer som er den høyeste militærutmerkelsen i Storbritannia. Kun 17 briter døde ved Rorke's Drift mens zuluene mistet mellom 300 og 600.

Zuluene ble slått tilbake med presis skyting fra Martini-Henry-rifler som startet på ca.

Not sure what equipment you have available but doing this is not at all impractical, depends on how much time you are willing to spend on it but I can guarantee nothing will ever come close to the satisfaction of scratch building a rifle yourself! I have built two High Walls, one full size and one scaled down version in 22 WMR and I am currently working on my third and last one.Britiske soldater klarte å holde stand mot zuluene ved Rorke's Drift under Zulukrigen.
How much machine work are you willing to do? The Italian rolling block copies look very good, but a thousand is way more that I want to spend. Once you get into it, Rick, the result (however it turned out) can be very satisfying.Īctually, I can do the machine and wood work myself.If I had to have everything done by someone else, it would cost much more that buying a complete gun, as you pointed out.
* I would consider buying a 90% shaped & inletted stock set from Treebone Carving ($200/straight grip-$250/pistolgrip), if I didn't feel like (or couldn't) make the stocks myself. * I would also make/install a new firing pin (E-Z-Peazy), and bush the breechblock face for a smaller FP tip - depending upon the original chambering & FP tip size. * On ANY RB, I was building up, I would slightly ream out both the breechblock & hammer axle pin holes and make slightly oversize replacement pins. 45-70 barrels, with different groove diameters $ 5.69/per inch (24" x $6 = $144) 45-70, for $93 + S&H - but they've been discontinued, so mayhaps a barrel can be found on one of the online gun auction website's parts section or FleaBay. * MidwayUSA had Green Mountain barrels, chambered (presumably) in. * The OP said he can do his own machine work. If it had been in worse shape, I might have considered it.Īnyway, I would appreciate any advice from those who have had experience with rolling blocks. 45-70 because it looked to be complete and in decent shape.
Also, I didn't want to convert it in to a. It looked in decent shape, but I really didn't know enough about it to evaluate it. Should I start by buying a complete rifle,or by getting a receiver and starting from there? If so, what type of rifle or receiver should I look for? There are many types, but are there certain types I should avoid? I'd like to ask first of all where I should start. Has anyone here ever built a Remington rolling block? Therefore, I'm asking everyone here for advice. 45-70 caliber, for short-range target shooting and hunting. So, I figure that the way for me to get one is to build one, that is, to put one together from parts.I'd like to end up with one in. I've wanted a Remington rolling block rifle for a long time, but never could get together the money to buy one that was in decent shape.
