House of Karlina
The premiere web site for information on the Swedish Mauser. Marvel at the outstanding photography while learning all there is to know about the best Mauser rifle ever made...so some say.

Gevär m/67 (Swede Model 1867 Rolling Block Rifle)
Mats Perssons' web page on the Model 1867 Remington Rolling Block is a must to check out. My second passion after Mauser rifles would have to be single shot rifles and I just love these Swedish Rolling Blocks. This site is an incredible source of information for these rifles. This page is just one of many to be found in Mats excellent site on Swedish weapons. Take a look.

Swedish Rolling Block Rifles
The Dutchman of House of Karlina fame has several informative pages on these fine rifles. Includes a step by step guide to forming cases for the 12.7x44R from .348 Winchester or .50 Alaskan cases. The site also includes some loading data for the 8x58R cartridge. A very nice companion site that compliments the above two sites on rolling blocks.

Kebco LLC
Kebco LLC has Swedish rolling block rifles for sale. You'll find Remington and Carl Gustaf rolling block rifles in original military configuration or sporterized in Sweden. My last two rolling block rifles came from Kebco LLC and eight (updated 11-17-05) personal friends of mine have also purchased rolling blocks from here. Quality European Mauser sporting rifles or shotguns can also be found listed for sale. You will find Ken from Kebco LLC to be one of the nicest people you have ever dealt with. I urge you to visit his site and if you purchase from him, please tell him that Theoxrojo sent you.

Custom Cast Bullets
This is where I buy my cast bullets. I have used bullets from 6.5 mm to .50 caliber and have been most pleased with quality, price and service. I use his .511 offerings in my Swede 12.7mm bore rolling blocks with great success. If you don't see what you want from the web site, ask Wayne, chances are he has it. Tell him Theoxrojo sent you.

Gardners Cache`
I have heard enough good reports on these cast bullets that I had to order some. I understand the .30 cal. 190 & 210 grains, .303 British and 8mm cast bullets are very accurate. Check out the web site, I bet you'll be ordering also.

NM Gun Collector Software
If you have a firearm collection of one or hundreds...you NEED this program. I used the free trial version and was impressed enough to buy the full fledge program. I have tried other programs but none come close to the features offered by NM Collector. The cost is quite reasonable and the author is available for support. I guarantee you will like this program and tell your friends about it. Tell Clay that Theoxrojo sent you.

"The Burning: Sheridan's Devastation of the Shenandoah Valley" by John L. Heatwole.
This is without a doubt the best Civil War book I have bought in some time. Mr. Heatwole has scoured the Valley for letters, diaries, oral histories and family archives to tell this story of destruction with amazing detail. Read this book and you will understand why Shenandoah Valley residents still say "Barn Burners" in the tone of voice they do to this day. According to the author's research, Charles Nelson's regiment with the Second Brigade, Third Division participated in the burning of barns, mills and other property in and around Staunton and then acted as Rear Guard for Custer's Third Division while the First Brigade wrecked havoc north from Harrisonburg to Cedar Creek. It seems that Rosser's Cavalry, fighting within sight of their burning homes and farms, gave Nelson and the Second Brigade as much trouble as they could handle and then some.

Destroy the Junction: Wilson-Kautz Raid Battle for the Staunton River Bridge by Captain Greg Eanes, USAFR
"Destroy The Junction" is a wonderful 222 page book. A worthy addition it is to "The Virginia Civil War Battles and Leaders Series" of books published by H.E. Howard, Inc of Lynchburg, VA. A study of minutia and passion, this body of work belongs on the reference shelf of every cavalry student of the civil war. Captain Eanes begins with General U.S. Grant's conception of destroying the railroads south of Richmond and Petersburg. He explains why this risk is crucial and how it may shorten the war. The reader is then taken on a grueling 500 mile ten day journey through enemy territory with General W.H.F. (Rooney) Lee's Rebel Cavalry Division following and engaging the Union troopers from day one. Eanes explains in detail each of the combat engagements to the delight of any tactician, explores how the citizenry of the region came together to repel the raiders and utilizes many first person accounts from slaves, citizens and soldiers from both sides. He concludes with not only the expected synopsis of the raid and participants but with an interesting Appendix titled "A Case Study In Warfighting". Truly an enjoyable, informative, make you feel like you were there type of book.
