Great question waiting for knowledgeable replies

The BB is a two barrel set. 375 Flanged and 470. Went to Namibia with my as the Version 1 in 2013. Being reworked (version 4 or so now) ever since.

Yep you are correct I did not look through all the pictures. Mine only had the extension, I assumed this one to be the same.

rgsiii To reinforce your comments on pressure, notice that the WR only has a top extension for locking. Although from a leverage view it is good, it is the only thing that keeps the action closed. These should only be used with light loads. Plus they typically pattern better with lower...

One thing to remember. Shotguns have no "collector" value. I am talking about in comparison to Colt Single actions etc. I consider this a good thing. Shotguns have value because they are beautiful and you can hunt with them. If it's not beautiful and doesn't shoot it has no value. I have...

I agree completely with your bolt action rifle comments. The difference here is that the bearing points for a box lock are where it hits the action and these can be clearly seen in the photographs. This is where probably 90% of the recoil is taken up. The scalloped action is terribly difficult...

Just curious, why would you care who restocked it? The work is fabulous. It is perfectly "headed up" even with the scalloped action. The wood stands proud just the right amount. Proportions on the stock are excellent. The leather covered pad is very nice. Whatever his/her name is, their...

Magnificent gun, all the right stuff. Definitely refinished/restored/restocked. I've had several. $10,000 Bill

I'll take a set for 470 NE and 375 Flanged How does payment work? Bill

I do not know of an English boxlock with intercepting sears. Francotte often has them but I cannot think of an English boxlock with them. Please educate me thanks Bill

thi9elsp - Everything is great until it isn't. Training and experience is the difference. I know nothing about Egypt Air. The 737 Maxx never had an issue in the US. I can guarantee that having a 200 hr Total Time Co Pilot is a bad idea.

The Korean Air flight just proves my point. It's not the planes.

The problem is not Boeing. How many domestic airline accidents in the last 20 years? Zero. Think twice before flying in a third world country. Bill 5000hr total time ATP helicopter etc etc.

After cataract surgery in both eyes, I can see either what I'm shooting at or the sights but not both. Doktor Optic fixed the problem.
