Where is your taxidermy shop. Just curious.

16 ga sold pending funds.

Very well said, makes me want to remove my name. But I just don’t wish to hide my passions for outdoor activities including conservation, planting for wildlife and habitat restoration. That said I also haven’t had more than a one on one discussion about our pursuits. Respect to all choices...

Thanks rookhawk and ray b. Hope 16ga folks have some vintage shotgun needs. I was told value of duck box was around $60 - $75 if full, 40-50 empty box. 16 ga shells was told $1 each, $16 ga boxes $10-20. If full boxes are as low as you state rookhawk, may just donate to local chapter of...

Was going to put that for sale after I emptied it.... box of wards 12ga in there also (all paper hulled shells, just must have been where shells were dumped at the end of a hunting day. Old friend who has since passed) that wards box is missing cover. Thanks for info on 16ga. Knew there had to...

Why I need a good gunsmith. Doing my part to protect The rifles from”inexperienced” hands, and have a good chamber cast along with provenance from London for the next caretakers of these fine rifles. This is from 1914.

Want to locate to crab orchard area. Johnson or Williamson county. 2 hours is well within drive for me, thanks.

Need chamber castings done on 2 rifles I have. Buddy has handgun that needs to have work done. Seems there’s a lack of quality ‘smiths around Chi-town. Any members here still in Illinois? I’m trying to escape from “crook” county very soon. Thanks for any help in advance

Hope this helps you. Would need assistance to post more pictures. Original rifle # is listed in mauser Sporters book.

No decent pictures handy here

nice site! Been searching for info on Rigby Mauser 350 magnums. I hope more info is still out there. I’ve owned my 350’s for 18 years now, and back then the gun bible only had Rigby’s as a footnote. I do have Mr Speed and Mr Olson books, both of which have great history and build specs. Great...
