Well

As far as the low wall. I think I am going to go with either the K Hornet or the 218 Bee. My preference is to the Bee. I happen to have quite a few cases for both calibers. Well the regular Hornet anyway and the Bee. I'd have to fireform the K hornets. I am tending towards the Bee but only if it can handle the pressures. I have a former employee of the Ballard Rifle Company in Cody to do the real work.. Will contact him and see what he thinks about the Bee. He is somewhat of a purist in wanting an original caliber. I want something to shoot.

As far as the 94 I was concerned about the pits not coming out in a 32 cal so have pretty much decided on 38-55. In fact at a yard sale today(another story for another thread) I acquired some 38-55 brass..More than 150 New factory brass. So I guess that will be decided. Now as to the bore..Jack..do you know anyone that will bore and re-rifle?? This stuff is kinda fun...and expensive I think....Oh what the heck..I know it will be. I'd like to have a bit of a hand in doing both. I do know I am going to re-blue both guns.. Rust blues like I used to do for money. Lot of work...but surely worth it. May post some pics of the process when I get to workin on 'em
