My Ferlach Custom .505 Gibbs

Can I ask why you didn’t get the barrel machined with the sights, quarter rib, and barrel band all integrated?
Is that possible? I have semi- custom builds with the barrels made by Benchmark and Douglas. In both cases the sights were soldered on afterwards. I wasn’t given the option otherwise.

From a custom maker it is.

 
I am a huge fan of this project. I'd love to see it finished and all put together and get a close up of the horn fore end.
 
Sorry to insert into the thread. Apologies.

@Pheroze
Barrel makers can only turn a barrel on a lathe.
Here is a trio just off the 4-axis CNC.
They require at least a 1.75” diameter barrel blank

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
Finally back to somewhat normal I missed reading the messages and posts

Hi PaulB,
I have a Ballard Arms Model 1885 chambered for .333 Jeffery Flanged. Do you have any idea where I can get ammo for this?

I am new to this forum so I am sorry if I am doing something wrong!
Thank You!
