Wow! Half price for a .505 Gibbs even if it has some issues that was a great price. Hopefully everything is “on the level”
 
I have purchased rifles from Jeff in the past and he is a great guy, purchase with confidence.
I have seen this .505 Gibbs rifle in person and it’s better than pictures depict.
I’m sure if you call or PM Jeff he would fill you in on the build.
Great Buy rhoward252!!

When my FFL received it , the action had import marks, no serial number, some info on action looked like rubbed of with wheel buffer or grinder. So my FFL said it could be used in US. BUT can not purchase a serial number on it till he thoroughly resurch the gun. Which would have been expensive. So my ffl returned the gun at my cost to the seller given ffl.
Seller might have legalized it with serial number.

Rifle looked fine as posted. Very likable. OP bought the rifled action from the mentioned dealer and custom stocked it. Very nice and cooperative to deal with. It is my quirk I had to send it back.

No I meant a cheap entry into the 500 club.

Some older actions were not serialized as they were not required to. But if a action is imported then it requires a serial number. That is what my issue was.

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike

I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
