Love the Smith carbines, have to say. Their simplicity and workings is just amazing.
Picked this one up cheap at an auction in Britain before Brexit.
What´s known as an "artillery model", due lack of carbine ring and so forth.
You guys are all to aware that i love working on these old guns, and of course this Smith was no exception. Have had a bunch through my hands thus far, and don´t see that taper off any really..
Anywhoo.. this one was rather neat actually. Yes, of course worn in the "normal" places. Hinge being lose and so on. All within remedy though. No worries.
Getting an old Smith to behave is very much about that massive lock spring there, and then the "fulcrum bolt" at the bottom of the receiver. The latter you to the letter smack the living daylights out of with a punch..
Yeah! Not half bad is it!
Uhu. She sure started to come around from a mech point of view so.. finish time.
As much as i could have gone ape on the thing i decided not to. Keep the identity, sort of... n it turned out just fine.
´N as it turned out shot accordingly.
Yeah yeah..whatever, but what about that viral crap then?
Well.
Like the saying goes, "she moves in mysterious ways". Indeed, cause we made a very short vid of it being used and guess what..
...and that thing has been viewed inxs of ONE MILLION TIMES!
