Yes. Aria and others even sell loaded ammo. However, it's easy enough to make (out of 458 Lott, Ackley, Watts, AE et. al.) as it's simply a full length 375 HH blown out to its max functional ID of 0.475."

Can you show us the factory stock for comparison? Mine also came w/ 2 crossbolts but is actually a very nice piece of wood (for a factory gun!) I'm familiar with the gold decor on 'em (Big 5, the Rhino, etc.) I'm interested in seeing just how much the wood varied from gun to gun...

This is a post when I picked it up that shows the rifle with the original stock
A couple days back my good friend and amateur troll @franzfmdavis 
questioned if I had a 470 Capstick in my collection… So I thought I’d share it with you all and to @franzfmdavis…
It’s #39 in the “Big Five” series. I originally didn’t think I would like the gold and silver inlay as it looks hoeky when see in pics but I have to say it looks really cool in hand!!!
So @franzfmdavis let me know when you want to toss some 600gr at 2250ftps out of a 9lb Winchester lol

Be careful of this Wolfen guy. 2 messages. Both trying to sell something. He PM'ed me trying to sell something and he PM'ed my friend on here trying to sell something. Fishy.
