    You have a nice collection.
    I have restored a few Nepalese long arms and really enjoyed doing it.

    I'm sorry that I sounded like a kill-blanket - if it makes you happy and you achieve anything that makes an old gun better, then I'm all for it.

    not at all tac, I just think that a gun in less than perfect condition is better than no gun at all. Its all part of our history which is disappearing fast.

    Hi. Himself
    I stuck the cylinder on its pin the wrong way round so nobody could possibly mistakenly think it was assembled correctly and ready to use.

    I think You best do what You can and keep as a curio. Part of of the problem when screws are missing is You have to machine Your own and You can never match the threads.It can take hours. I did an old wedge frame Webley.I even had to make the ram that is on the side.

    Ps I love Your little pepper pot by the way!!!!

    Hi. Lewe07

    I have got most of the Belgium Colt copy working just the cylinder bolt and the wedge screw left to do.

    I have had the Pepper Pot for years I can't remember how much I paid for it probably £5 or £10 quid
