I would warn anybody to be careful about doing business with PTG. Do your homework, plenty of info out there.

No insult intended and hopefully none taken. WTB ads seem to bring out the scammers.

Steve did the stock on my 404 and did a nice job. It is my understanding during our last conversation that he is now retired. I can suggest Stuart Satterlee, and Ben Piper as both have done or are currently working on projects for me.

With all the scams directed at WTB ads, I don't like this statement. Hope it is all on the up and up and you get your dies. Redding has 318 dies in stock.

Mike, I have a salted cape, it's yours if you want it. Cover the shipping + $100.00 for my time sound fair?

Raven Rocks has 9.3x62 brass in stock, also Swift A Frames.

Exactly my first thought after the second paragraph.

And all my shooting buddies laughed at me when I bought 100K a few years back. Now who do you think they are calling?

All brass is now sold. John

PM replied to. Ammo is sold.

Ontario Hunter, This is my for sale thread, take your gipes and advice elsewhere. Start your own thread if you want to discuss your problems with RWS brass. You need to learn some internet forum etiquette. John

Might want to add a few details. Are you selling it or did you post it in the wrong section?

Found a red dot mount for the Ruger 77, but cannot remember what company made it. My PH has been using it on a 458 and has had no problems. Maybe this thread may help, https://www.africahunting.com/threads/ruger-rsm-458-lott-red-dot-mounting-options.72636/

If you can find a decapping pin for the PPC family that might work. The 6BR and PPC brass have a smaller flash hole than standard small rifle holes. My 6 BRX dies from Whidden came with the smaller diameter pin, and a few spares.

Is13.5" a typo?

I always understood Lacquer was used for this.

Pieter, I think that scope is 36mm main tube not 34mm. Just a heads up. John

I have tried Bertram once and the brass was terrible, waayy too soft. As a competitive shooter I would find it strange if Bertram was the brass of choice for anything. That said I do not shoot the ELR events so I have no first hand knowledge. If they have stepped up their game, that would be a...

Recently on Gunbroker, 22 pieces of new Norma 404 brass sold for $206.00 also 50 .423 Swift A Frames sold for $260.00. I cannot fathom paying that much for brass and bullets. Bertram is horrible brass even more so at that price point.

I saw that action also, there is something about the rear bridge that does not seem right to me. Look closely at pictures 4&5 and zoom in. In picture 5 it looks like there is something going on between the 2 scope base screw holes. I do realize the charger hump has been ground off. In picture 4...

You won't find a wild male Lion hunt anywhere near that price.

Matt, September is not normally all that hot, I would expect highs in the 80's, maybe less. I've hunted Zim twice in Sept and once in November. I love September over there cool at night and in the morning, not bad during the day. November.... never again, my lord it was hot with a few days...

I asked a similar question while hunting in SA. I was told as an American I could purchase ammo in SA but would have to show my 4457 at the point of purchase, and I could only get ammo in that specific caliber. My friends in Zim also complain about the ammo prices, every time he pulls the...

Be interested in what they say, just don't use up too much of Jerome's bandwidth it's in very limited supply.

Well I guess if Jerome is hurting for money because I suck up so much of his bandwidth, he can send me a damn invoice.

So being a contributing member somehow means your posts hold more weight that a non contributing member? I have contributed to this website but it does not show by my avatar, so I guess my posts hold as much authority as yours. And I have done business with PTG, maybe you can call Chad at LRI...

Andy makes top quality items, and quality costs money, he is about the only shop left making custom bottom metal. I do notice this statement "This assembly is designed with the assumption that the customer will fit into a custom stock" that makes me think it might require some inletting. Guys...

Deal with PTG at your own risk. Do an internet search then proceed at your discretion.

I think you only have 5 min. after making the post to edit it, after that you need a Mod. or a second post.

Yep, should have shot the chain with an A Frame and that would not have happened.

Depending on the time of year for your hunt, it won't be that hot. Starts warming up in September, but June/July it can be downright cold.

Doug, I honestly do not remember what the shipping costs were, but if they were not reasonable, I would not have bought from him. Krish, Look up Erdem Walnut, he also has a Facebook page if you have an account not sure if it is ok for me to post his website link on this forum.

Oguz is as honest as they come, and I have dealt with him several times and all transactions went very smooth. Last 2 times I paid him by Western Union and that was a breeze.

Yes, just go direct to the seller Erdem Walnut is who I use, also bought from Roger Vardy a few times. All smooth transactions. Ceicl in Vegas, Fanousi in Dallas, Katre, all good suppliers.

I love the North Fork bullets, use them in my 404 and 275 Rigby. Had excellent performance but do prefer the flat point solid to the cup point. I have personally had one cup point fail to penetrate, and my PH had the same in his 505 Gibbs. They are hard to find but the 380 gr. will serve you...

I always buy my own, have 2 dealers I have worked with and all transaction have gone very smooth. My last blank arrived from Turkey 3 days after I paid for it, no idea how it got here so fast. Roger Vardy in Aus. also has some phenomenal wood and a stellar reputation, his shipping prices are...

I've rust blued a few guns and never had the bore rust. Just got done doing a 404 Jeffery and there was no rust in the bore when I finished.

Doug, The post I quoted was not from deewayne, I was questioning the post of KYhunter73. deewayne and I have done business together and spoke on the phone a few times about the situation he is in with Dan, heck I almost ended up sending Dan some stuff for a build...Glad I did not.

A quarter MOA gun, not one, but several.... That is an exceptional gunsmith and also some exceptional shooters that can hold that tight of a group. Joined this forum just to make that post?

Ida, Stayed in that chalet twice, so sad they lost the area, our PH is here at our house as I type this. He came with his family for a weeks vacation after DSC. My advice which is worth the paper it is printed on in Zimbabwe all the way, hunted there 3 times and SA once. I will never go back...

If you have not gotten quotes on how much your engraving will cost, that may influence how much if any you get done. I have only contracted one engraving job. Requested quotes from 2 different engravers. One quote was half the price of the other, but I went with the more expensive engraver...

Give em hell John, remember the old gun show saying "Your gold is shit, and my shit is gold". I won't list anything for sale on this board anymore, too many resellers that want it dirt cheap so they can make a profit. I only sell things to members here who post a WTB or mention they are looking...
