I ordered 10,000 large pistol mag primers seeing as they were on sale. I'm also waiting on my Henry to come back from the factory. The mag tube was backing out under fire and Henry insisted on returning it. I'm also waiting on Smith to
fix and return my 629.
I sent the lock from my Brown Bess to a smith in New Hampshire to have the frizzen hardened and the trigger lightened, which is accomplished by reducing the sear spring tension and reworking the full cock notch. And which is well beyond my abilities. Hoping to get that back in a few days.

I also have an M48. Great shooter and in fine condition, too.
When you tear it apart, be super careful not to break the firing pin if you disassemble the bolt. There aren't any spares and pins from k98 or other variants do not fit.
Breaking the firing pin is easy to do.
