My Ferlach Custom .505 Gibbs

[Pheroze]

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.

It will be amazing! Thank you for sharing!

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

And polished
