New account here, but not new to guns, gun-smithing or gun making! I've been working on a few project rifles, and thought some of you might appreciate seeing the custom front sights and quarter ribs I've designed and manufactured! Both front sight bases use the Recknagel Universal front inserts, one having been styled off of the Griffin and Howe rifles, and the other reminiscent of the Rigby big game guns.

The G&H inspired front sight will be used on a lefty Model 70, in a calibre yet to be determined.

I just wanted to compliment your machinists hammer. Truly, you're an experienced journeyman. I'm impressed with your proficiency far beyond my own.

Thank you so much! If you're referring to the image with the quarter rib, that's actually the back end of a forged axe that a friend had made for me!

Just moving to DM. Yes, please ask your friend if he knows somebody who might be willing to support a persistent hunt in the snow.

Hi Paul,
This is Daniel from Mankazana Safaris.

I saw your post regarding a hunt in Africa. I am sure you have been bombarded with messages and replies from other outfitters, so I will keep this one quick.
I have a feeling we have exactly what you need for a first safari.
If you'd like to hear more, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Yours sincerely,

If you ever decide to sell this rifle, I will buy it with the dies, bullet, brass, the works. Dan
