Default Bulgarian rifle boyliya

I want to show you my restoration on Bulgarian rifle boyliya. From the type which was shared here, I make the same type of it. I expect your comments.

Cool

It is impossible to comment without knowing what or which parts of the gun have been restored

The barrel and the lock are original. All others parts are not original. I made them.

Yes, some pictures before restoration would be very helpful!

bobi13,

How did you come up with the date of 1231 Hijri (1816 Gregorian)?

Your work is very inspiring! I collect ethnic guns as well as vintage American long rifles, and most of mine are well worn. A couple of my long guns suffered from poor amateur restoration attempts. To see a relic like what you started with get restored to its former glory is a testament to your skills.

Ah! At last I found this thread..

I have a Boylia that was given to me in a terrible state. I have started to restore it, but had no idea what I was trying to achive..

The rear of the stock is missing as are the forward barrel bands..

I have managed to scrape off some of the thick coats of dirt and clean the lock which is in quite good condition, but is missing the wings on the top screw..
