Thinned out some of my redundant lightweight sheep rifles, still two more wouldn’t mind finding new homes.

Both are full custom builds, all same specs, components of a new NULA custom at the time, Melvin just used customer supplied Forbes or Colt actions which he trued, even bolt internals, magazine and followers were replaced.

6.5 Creed on a trued Forbes action, stainless 23” barrel, 13.5” LOP, and Jewel trigger. Has brown/tan leaf camo pattern on the stock. Gun was represented as unfired since leaving Melvin’s shop and appearance of bolt lugs and face would seem to support. $2,500 + shipping.

25/06 on trued Colt Light Rifle action, 24” stainless barrel, 13.5” LOP, timney trigger. Rifles had very few rounds through it when I got it, and I haven’t scoped or shot it. Barreled action cerecoated olive and stock black. $2,100 + shipping.

Jake, Sorry to bug you again. I was wondering if you could share a. couple actual pics of this crossbow with me?

Xpedition Archery USED Scrapeline390X Sniper Gray Crossbow XACW1001 - Light Wear - Needs Bolt/Arrow Guide Spring UA5689​

If it is in a decent shape, would you be willing to sell it for $100 shipped? IS it missing the retention spring that goes over the bolt?
Thank you Ferenc

Good morning John, I just read your setup procedure for the northstar duplicator ator. I found it very hand and I did learn some things. I have the same machine and I am having a problem i can not figure out and was hoping you could shed some light on the subject.
