Offf you must have really needed to move fast. As the chief constable would have stepped in quite sharpish to take all firearms off sight. Going bust means a gunmaker is out of business once they stop trading then they lose their license so cops step straight in.
Must have been in a good county. Our chief constable is a thunt spelt with no th but a capital C :ROFLMAO:
Is it finished? A pic would be nice cheers.
Yes we moved very fast with the help of the rifle maker . He knew of another rifle maker who was also a practicing solicitor who took the rifle onto his books and the original maker went and worked for him . It was finished after an extra 12 months . I got a few grey hairs but ended up with a magnificent 500NE double with a snap underlever action and rising bite third fastener .

I forgot to add I fitted a 3 point diamond onto the front sight . It shows in the photos . Only cost about A$100 although it sounds wildly extravagant . It is quite a common feature on high end doubles from India . It works particularly well for me in when shooting in late afternoon .

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

Hi PaulB,
I have a Ballard Arms Model 1885 chambered for .333 Jeffery Flanged. Do you have any idea where I can get ammo for this?

I am new to this forum so I am sorry if I am doing something wrong!
Thank You!
