Fall bump

@krish thanks for the feedback. I am Amazed when I look thru GB and GI what they ask for guns but I guess some are gun brokers needing to make a profit

I bought mine as reminded me of the old African single shot with long, straight wall cartridge. And can shoot the winmag. But, I imagine the recoil will be tough!

@TexasCollector Sir, I have one, NIB, original owner. As you have seen here, a new member asking to buy or sell, raises flags. You saw GB and look at GI. Then make me your best offer.

Hats off to Quality Cartridge! Pete, the owner, is one of the last men standing for hard to get brass. I got him to order up the stock for the 338-06 brass so he could make 338-06 AI brass for me.

Me to! Mr Rook got me thinking… The breech is quite long for an Oct. barrel. (I usually have it around 0.5”) so could shorten it and have 22” barrel and make a full stock rifle. Damn, should have hit me sooner. Chile, great snag!

The OP stated “sling lug”, abit a different style And barrel is 24”, so unclear to me

Excellent barreled action! The hole in the end of the barrel is fine for me. Can u photo the front sight base from the muzzle to where it merges with the octagon flat? Maybe slight camera angle. And the length between the rear and front rings (do not see any cuts as a Model 70 might have for the...

Not me, I am a customer and do the technical for my stuff. I am not skilled at soldering or gunsmithing, as I guess @AZDAVE:). Just providing information that folks might find of interest. If they need this kind of work, should check with Matrix.

my load is similar to @deewayne2003 but pushing a bit faster, 2387fps, to get my barrel node for the 23.6" barrel. Using H4350 and a load density of 83%

Sorry for all this technical stuff so early in the morning, but this is what goes into the thinking... @AZDAVE there is no barrel contour limitation (other than the raw material stock size) but there is technical considerations depending upon the action if square bridge or round. The boreline...

you guys know a lot better than me but for my 505, using 600gn WDL soft and 525gn solids (similar for my 416 Rigby). My thinking is the soft high sectional density and expansion with reasonable penetration and then the FMJ, as much velocity as can get and as much penetration since expansion is...

@PCC600 Of course GMA is still in business. Having said that, maybe to established customers? Since 2006, I have bought 9 actions from John, the last maybe 2-3 years ago. I have heard recent customers having multi-year wait times for actions or no responses to phone or emails:( John is a full...

@Hunter-Habib Mayfair went out of production about 2 or so years ago:( Roger Green was the US importer and I got a couple from him but expensive due to import cost.

and bolt jewelling in progress.
