Jerome, you need to put wheels on that rifle, it's much more like artillery.....very friggen beautiful artillery! .

This right here. Some one probably replaced the original extractor and it just needs a little bit of fitting. No big deal at all. Mauser extractors are a pain in the butt. .

500 Grainers just aren't necessary with todays bullets........CEB and Barnes monos especaially. I like the 450 grain in both the Lott and the Win Mag. 2200fps is eay with either in the win mag and can go really good in the Lott!

Lake Kariba areas in Zim as well.

The edge off the extractor has chipped. None of mine look remotely like that, and yes. That certainly can cause feeding issues. I have handled many and never once seen one with a feeding issue. Every one I have touched has fed and functioned well........just my .02cents worth. .

Offset rings would be my answer. .

This is the method I use, fantastic stuff and a great method. http://www.rustblue.com/ I can do a complete rifle in two days easy, six passes and a beautiful rust blue. And Bob is a great guy to deal with as well.

I have threaded several barrels for suppressors, I have only had to remove the barrel for one........it was very short. Every rifle I own that shoots suppressed has a different point of impact suppressor on and suppressor off. As was said before, never, ever, ever, use a die to thread a barrel!

Beautiful stuff. Jerome is a fine man and a true "Master Gunsmith"! .

I carry a 223 most trips to South Africa, I shoot 69 grain matchking ( 9 Twist) fantastic for small cats jackles up to kudu.....if you put them in the right place..

If I can't take my rifle I ain't going! .

Yep! Not too common but I've seen that kind of thing at Umbabat. It is incredible! Gotta make Moz one of these days, I think up North in the Miombo would be great, the swamps.....not so much....

Glad to be of assistance, I've had a few of those types of conversations as well. The Kruger buff have the same type of things to deal with as any wilderness area buff, lions, hyenas and recently a lot of poaching.......... Whatever you decide, have fun. I would Mich rather chase buffalo th a...

That was cool! .

I will never leave the truck in DG country without a round in the chamber, ever. I use the rifles safety but never depend on it. I have lectured a PH on gun safety and several game scouts, I had a game scout in Zim replaced because that damned AK was pointed everywhere.
