there is so little real evidence of this happening, it's become a rifle myth. Only the 1905 could be done wrong and that takes a lot of effort. The 1910 is a different action and cannot be assembled wrong. The only military rifle lie that has more traction is the low number 1903 Springfield BS.

Now that own THREE 280s, thought I might check back here. Cases are available from BUFFALO ARMS, dies from C&H, bullets from WOODLEIGH & HAWK. Case capacity is the same as the 7&61 Sharpe & Hart The problem is the combination of cordite and corrosive primers has left most bores pitted and worn...

Thanks, I had, and foolishly sold, one of the Euro export only ones with the orange stock. Can you tell me: whose barrel is it ? Barrel length ? Barrel contour ? iron sights ? Thanks, Larry
