      Any paper patchers out there?

      I believe they have up dated editions of the first two books also.

      These are the best resources I have. The one by Wolf on trapdoors is the best I know for shooting the trapdoor. The black powder primer is great for the basics. The paper patch book has everything you need for reloading and making the paper patch. Hope this helps.

      I might be interested but would need to see more pictures under the grips and the back strap and front of the grip. I have a Rem model 700 first year production (1962) all correct in .243 I’m second owner and believe it has never been fired. Blue book value rates at $835 but have seen lesser...
