Rolling Block
Years ago I bought a Rolling Block for $7.00 and gave it to my Dad for either his birthday or maybe it was Christmas. It was an 11mm. He shot it for years using blown out ..45-70 brass and a 260 gr. Keith .45 Colt bullet. Worked pretty well.
After he got Alzheimer's and was in a nursing home I got the old rolling block, stripped it, bought a barrel and some parts for it and sent it to John Killebrew.
This was after John worked on it some ..

You will have to ask John what it's like today and how it shoots because I later sold it to him before we moved to Mozambique. I know he has put it to good use.
