At least it was cheap...
I went to a firearms auction today and came home with this "beauty" (as they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder).Looking at a number of rifles during the preview period, I somehow managed to...

Ingenuity at its finest! I particularly like the three wood screws holding the 'laminated' stock together!

I dont blame you for rescuing this little time wanderer. Looks like 'Granny's' rifle from The Beverly Hillbillies.

I am no expert on the Tabatiere KilroyCD, but I have done some research and been given some advice as I would like to have one and yours deserves a kind home after a hard life.Two things send warning...

I like it.......a great conversation piece for a walkabout at an event. Good that a knowledgeable chap has it lest it become some neophyte's undoing!

It looks like I'm not the only one who got followed home by a Zulu last week. I was at my gunsmith friend's place, and I mentioned that I needed a firing pin for a Zulu shotgun. He said, "You shoot...

How about the Egyptian smoothbore Sniders that everyone seems to have?!

If you want to sell one at these prices Michael I have my wallet to hand..............
View ArticleRe: At least it was cheap...
Haha, maybe after I make the firing pin. But by then the price will have gone up.

Regarding the above Tabby, I'm looking to replace that... um... interesting stock. If anyone has a spare Zulu shotgun stock (read cut-down Tabatiere) that they're willing to sell, please let me know.

Firing pins I can buy here. Real Tabbys are way to expensive here and all the affordable 'Zulu' conversions were sent across the Atlantic

I'm looking at parts to reconvert one of mine to real Tabby form. I can certainly keep my eye out for one for you. There's usually one or two, even at the smaller gun shows.

Michael, if you find and extra stock after you find one for Kilroy, keep me in mind. Mine is reparable but my eyes for close work after cataract surgery aren't what they used to be. *sigh* Oh, and my...

TP, I just ordered a stock from The Rifle Shoppe, along with the bits to re-convert my best one to Tabatiére configuration. So I will have one stock that is surplus to needs, but in rather rough shape...

TP, if you get that stock from Michael, I'll take your old stock off your hands. I can work on a repairable stock.

Michael, thanks and let me know how things work out. The Rifle Shoppe parts are the best, wish they had been up and running 25 or 30 years ago when I was doing a lot of repair/restoration work. Take...

As an aside, I took the Tabby to my local sportsman's club the other evening to show it to some friends. It got a lot of attention before I ever took it out of the gun case, as the excessive drop in...

I would be tickled to death to find something like that, if the price really was cheap, and if the action was still good and functioned well. It would be a very fun project building a new stock for...
