New Addition to the Family

Post by fyrwokr »

Just picked a Shiloh '63 carbine, 54 caliber, from a very nice gentleman back east. :lol: Been stored for quite a few years. Like NEW !! Serial number is 55*, I am guessing that puts it about 1979 or 1980?? I don't have a mould yet and the mail hasn't arrived from Buffalo Arms, so has anyone tried something like the Hornady Great Plains or T/C Maxi Hunter or Maxi Ball bullets in these rifle's?? This Gentleman also sent the cartridge making kit with one of Shiloh's old order forms for bullets and pre-rolled tubes. These bullets look alot like the Hornady and the T/C's
