Swedish Rolling Block 1867/89, better than the Sharps rifle ?

I plan on doing a video on the reloading kit I'm piecing toogether.
If you have any advise I'll be more than happy to hear them !

    I have one and suggest you slug the bore or better yet, do a chamber cast. Mine has a groove diameter of 0.326" and a bore diameter of 0.316" and a throat length of 0 618".

    I have been looking for this in the Czech Republic, either military or sporterised one, but all I could find are obsolete black powder, large bore ones of various origins or converted to be a shotgun. The Swedish one you got has many updates including ejector and extra screws that stop pins from coming loose and so on. Very pretty.

    It was a very nice example I agree. But I exchange it for a krag 1889/24 carbine (that you Can also see on my channel). Regarding the Rolling block, here you Can find it pretty easly for 800€ in nice conditions. If there is no regulation in Czech republic you can try and order one here ! I'll be happy to help

    the "B" mark is probably "Befälsvapen" (weapon used for officers training) cit. book "The Swedish Mauser Rifles" - S.Kehaya and J.Poyer - North Cape Pub.

    Nice video! C under crown mark shows that the rifle was made at the royal armory of Carl Gustaf Stad in the city of Eskilstuna. A rifle made by Husqvarna, has an «H» at the right side.

    My comment above refers to the 12 mm black powder cartridge, not the 8x58RD 🙂 Inspector markings on the action, IdB: Edward Govert In de Betou, P.S.: Pehr Sandahl (most likely), both at Carl Gustafs.

    The side, long range sight is for volley firing at Artillery, not individual firing, much the same as the Long Lee Enfield rifles the British were using around the same time.

I was looking for one in fair-good overall condition with a decent bore for a good price. And was a matter of which they posted first, 8x58 or 12.17x44. Well, I ended up pulling the trigger on a 12.17x44 that checks all my boxes (and is center fire) yesterday. Super excited to get it soon
