I have a 585 in the pipeline - NFS at present, but feel free to contact me via pm

Will take the torque wrench - have the rest and then some! Will use PP F&F - Jeff>

Still have not received it?

Curious on the use of a lathe to turn down the brass. I have a CH form/trim die. I cut the 338 Lapua (or 416 Rigby) brass down to approximate final length with a small conduit cutter (guess a lathe would work) and then run them through the die and file trim, and then after running them through...

I have an original Hannibal .500 A-Square I would consider selling in the price range you are asking for the .510. I just finished building a .510 so not interested in a trade. PM if further interested.

I have to jump in here, frankly against my better judgment. First off, I have frequently commented on this site, that when a member offers something for sale, that unless you are a serious buyer, save the comments. I belong to several similar sites to this one that prohibits comments on the...

I have one - it includes a separate flier on just the "Big Five" editions. You can have it - what is your mailing address?

Thanks. I got 1000 online with shipping, taxes, etc. for about 150 USD.

Will you ship?

Enlighten me here, please. This buff was taken over three years ago, and was salted at the time and apparently remains so. Is this cape still viable after this much time without having been tanned or mounted somehow??

From where and how much? I haven't purchased primers in awhile so not sure what is a decent price. There are some on GunBroker but the prices are all over the board.

Any thoughts or info on why it is currently very difficult to purchase large rifle primers, while most others seem more readily available?

Price reduced to $250 shipped.

VC is a bespoke gun maker. Any available currently would be on the used market. I was able to purchase mine as a show sample.

I have not read through this entire post (nor do I intend to do so). That said, I own a VC double in 600NE. It is an incredible shooting machine. I purchased it from Ken Buch dba Kebco about a year and half ago. I shoot it regularly using reduced loads with 5744 behind 900gr CuttingEdge...

ifb-munition.com Does anyone know if this company's ammunition is available in the United States. I have emailed the company but no response to date. Their online catalog shows some rather exotic loadings including the 600 & 700 Nitro.

Yeah, like way overpriced.

That is correct.

Offered for sale is a matched pair of limbs for the Hoyt Buffalo riser. These are "formula" limbs so may fit other risers as well. These are "short" and weighted at 50# They are in like new condition and have never been hunted or otherwise in the woods. Priced at $375 including shipping...

Last price for Bertram 577 brass was 700/100 or 7 each. For Knoch collector 577, at least $250 per full box of 5 and the condition of the box counts in the price!

CuttingEdgeBullets offers 900 and 825 monolithics. Otherwise - good luck. For what it is worth, I shoot mainly cast bullet - have a 900gr mold from AccurateMolds.

It's all about the hunt. If you want memories, buy a camera.

I am going to jump in here on this because I am currently building a 585 Nyati on a 1914 Enfield action. It is my understanding that the GMA 585 is another version of the 585 Nyati. Assuming that is true, the rifle in question is way too light. Remember Ross Seyfried developed the 585 back in...

Built my own on a Remington Ultra-Mag action.

If you are still interested in a CZ 550 in 416 Rigby, a friend and fellow shooter here in Grays Harbor, Washington has such a rifle he is willing to sell along with dies, brass, etc. I am familiar with the rifle. It is in excellent condition, although not NIB. He is not a member of this site...

In the current ant-gun climate, be careful about your particular state laws governing shotguns with rifle-like features, e.g., thumbhole stocks and pistol grips. Washington State is about to pass a bill that will outlaw "assault" rifles. The bill contains language that includes semi-auto...

You would think some makers, such as the two primary custom Sharps factories in Big Timber, Montana, would make a greater effort to have ammo and brass available.

Brass can be the toughest to find. CH4 has or will make any die set, including wildcats, and bullets usually are not a big issue, either.

Thanks for all the responses. I hasten to add that my comments were more in the nature of a general observation rather than requests for specific sources, most of which out there I am quite familiar. I might also add that at times it makes more sense to find ammo and/or brass and then go...

I would think that with all the current interest in the classic African big bore rifles and cartridges there would be more sources for ammunition. In fact, it is getting increasingly difficult to find just brass. On a related note, I have been looking at a couple of Sharps rifles - same deal...

I have a Boddington No. 1 450 NE with factory ammo + dies and brass. Might sell if that would fit your needs?

Back in my waterfowl hunting days in Montana I had a pair of the exact same gun. Their were not mint, but I had no problem shooting steel through them. Made up a special set of screw drivers to fit the fine action screws so that I could strip down the actions as needed. Also, one could put in...

What is the vintage of the gun? I am not acquainted with a gunsmith in Astoria, Oregon by the name of Atkinson. I live just north of Astoria and am pretty well acquainted with local talent.

The better question in choosing a cartridge for hunting critters who can shoot back, is how big a gun can I handle!?! Personally, if it ain't a .400+, forget it.

That's why they are called "safe queens"!

Agreed, my patience level is very low. The last custom rifle I commissioned took 2+ years and that was from a local boutique maker. There are so many doubles out there currently for sale - Why wait??

Actually, the more difficult part is replacing the screw in exactly the same position from which it was removed. The first thing I look for on higher grade guns is whether the screw slots are damaged and are oriented North/South or East/West as appropriate. Otherwise, I question who opened the...

Lots of sub-375 caliber doubles for sale on GI - not an endorsement; just a factual statement. That said, I have always looked at DRs as "charge guns," meaning that if you are forced to go "close quarters" with one of Mother Nature's creatures who was born with more natural weapons than you...

Other than the generally higher cost of purchasing a 577 or 600, shooting same can be fairly reasonable in terms of cost per shot and recoil. Brass will be the most expensive component, but if loads are kept on the lighter side, these big cases can be used for up to 25-30 reloads. The late Cap...

With the caveat about my rule against commenting on items offered under "Classifieds," I am curious about the 505 Gibbs cartridge ballistics. Using "Any Shot You Want," it appears that the Gibbs typically requires more powder to achieve the same or even less velocities than either the 500...

Thanks - will contact them immediately.

Is this current ammo? Also, are these the standard 5 round boxes? I was not aware Kynoch was still producing ammo?

Have you located any brass? I have some extra once fired Hornady 450 Nitro Express 3 1/4" brass - I am assuming that it is the same

Anyone have any experience with Collectibles Insurance Services, LLC? for firearms and related equipment, etc.? I recently got a quote from them that seems reasonable, but have not been able find a feedback on the company.

I will be interested on loading blocks for the 577 and 600 rimmed cases. Also, you might want to consider making ammo boxes or cases for the big ones.

Just got my 577 & 600 funnels - nice stuff, well done.

Somebody has to keep the troops in line! Seriously, the "avatar" is part of a continuing volunteer recruitment program for the local historical society which owns and operates a significant maritime museum and lighthouse here on the west coast of Washington. We styled it after the classic WWI...

I am familiar with the company. However, I was not aware that their ammunition was available in the US?
