I've aquired this beautiful rifle chambered in 450 akley magnum. I've done a ton of research about the caliber and it's history, but have not been able to find anything about the rifle. Was hoping maybe someone here might be able to help me with that. Any and all help is appreciated.
Thanks
 
Who customized the rifle. How about a photo. 450 Ackley my favorite elephant rifle
 
Sorry I uploaded 5 photos and it says still uploading. And I have no idea who built the rifle. All I know is that it looks new and unfired. Based on the stock condition I assume it's a refinished rifle. Bees a gunsmith a long time but never really dealt with Safari stuff

I can txt pics
 
It looks very nice, but in that last pic am I seeing right under the floorplate and seeing the doorframe?
Looks like it, haven't paid that close of attention to it. Been to busy working the rest of the estate it came from. Have to look at it when I get back home

I did look at the floor plat and feel like it's not original to the rifle. All other metal and and internals are all the same satin finish, and it's factory black.

Sir, I think I have been writing to you about the purchase of the HK 639 rifle under an email "Tt Jake." If this is you, then I am truly interested. I am just trying to verify identify. Tt Jake is asking for a cash transaction. No disrespect intended, Just trying to verify who I am talking to. Thank you. Respectfully. Dan

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
Finally back to somewhat normal I missed reading the messages and posts
