'Feel as if I'm seeing double. Unbelievable that I picked up the very same just a week ago (also advertised on here!) Please let me know if for whatever reason the gun isn't moving, I'd buy some of the ammo and the dies. That is a GOOD deal because retail, I believe you're looking at $3,300.00 worth of ammo alone here!!! It's as if the gun is $2,000.00 considering the dies value. Someone could buy it and get 1/2 back by selling some of the ammo.! (I'm good-My safe talks to me. It says there's no room for another 470 C!) Nice. Good luck! 'Now recalling that I had an old Kimber gunsmith re-blue two old guns years back ($300). Cheap and good as new now.
 
(I just checked mine and noticed yours has a low-profile soldered-on under barrel sling mount (whereas mine is a clamp-on ring), your bolt is more finely jeweled/polished, yours features the 3 folding ramp rear sight (mine only has 1) and mine additionally has the fancy Big 5 Africa/Rhino/Safari Classic bottom metal work. It was up to the the Orderer's personal taste through the Win Custom Shop, so there are some neat upgrades on yours!

I only paid 100 for the box of ammo. The rifle is worth around 5k in my openion. Still a very good deal. @NTO is a great guy to deal with.

Seller of mine advised that custom loaded ammo (his from Superior) was $300/box nowadays and of course you can no longer get new A-Square factory stuff.

Probably so. I got few original boxes for collection. Then one of the members here on AH got me properly head stamped brass. Then found some on GB, Then found some more. Ended up with over 1000 pieces. Then found some 1.5k pieces of Barnes Tsx 500gr bullets along with 500 Banded flat nose solids and 1k pieces of SWIFT AFRAME BULLETS.
I AM ALL SET.

Thanks everyone for the comments yes there is a lot of ammo here that’s worth as much as the gun.
This is a custom shop gun so there is some changes from the Big 5 rifles when all 125 of them where the same.
 
Love the photos you posted...great sense of style.
 
NULAs are aways my favorite but open to others if it’s something of interest.

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
