Greetings all - my name is TK Steingass. I’m a 77 year old custom knifemaker out of Bucksport, Maine. Been making knives for 15 years and quite a few have gone to Africa and Alaska. Many years ago I had to sell my No 1 International 30-06 because money got tight. I recently saw a photo of a Lipseys stainless No 1 International in 6.5x55 Swede and I got the bug! Wish me luck finding one for sale - they are scarce as hen’s teeth!!

I just saw Budsgunshop.com has both the guide gun and the African for $1150. FWIW - I bought both and decided to use the Guide gun - I restocked it in a Bell and Carlson stock and I added the Alaska arms floor plate to add a round. I wanted the shorter barrel as I will use a suppressor. I wont go lower than $1100, but I will ship it and no sales tax.

Let me know if you are interested

I have an unfired Ruger 375 African if you are interested. $1,100 shipped to you

Bought it earlier this year
