Swedish M1867 Rolling Block Restoration

Video Description

I've been looking for a Swedish Husqvarna Rolling Block rifle. I finally found one online for a reasonable price and pulled the trigger. Upon it's arrival, I could see that it required a minimally invasive restoration in order to function correctly as well as to be preserved for the future. I disassemble and clean all the parts then boil and convert the rust to bluing. I make the missing cleaning rod from scrap metal. Upon reassembly, I load and shoot this historic rifle.
