Dave, I've sent you a PM. Dale

This may be old news but a friend gave me a Gun Digest 2018 he had finished with. He knows I like to slice, scan and archive articles of interest. There is a great article on the 400 Whelen with some nice color photographs of some beautiful 400 Whelen rifles. The article is pretty in depth on...

I realize this thread is a bit dated but I will offer some information. There is a good article by Joseph R Donnelly in the book "Big Bore Rifles and Cartridges" by Wolf Publishing. He describes in some detail the modifications he made to a type "C" Mark X action. This is the standard length...
