Stock is a replacement, I think. I bought an old Cogswell and Harrison rifle 20 years ago that was in way worse shape, when I was home on leave. I was in the military and stationed oveseas. Dad kept it for me, for a while but the guy is a freaking horse trader and he can't be happy not...

Yeah don't care. Business is business. There are levels of unethical in every business. There are tons of incidences of firearms industry people screwing one another.

Here I founded the updated version of this from last year. I have not ordered any in a while. Reminds me I need to get a few going. The bottom knife is the Loveless knife.

He built me one a few years ago. I should have taken photos of it. Little Kukri. This was during Covid. Price initially quoted was not honored, and he was a dickhead about me not answering emails while I on vacation for two weeks. I paid him for it, it showed up about two months later...

Nice who made this Loveless Pattern knife? Here are mine. I took this photo last year. These are slab sided. I gave the top bully Bob to my father a couple years ago. The top 3, from a smith in Michigan I can't remember the name of. 4th knife, can't remember maybe Menafee. There are...

I would not trust anyone that doesn't have several hundred post and post regularly. Even then I have been mis-sold on multiple things I thought I was getting a good deal on. Product came through, but rarely as advertised.

Budsguns has every iteration of the Ruger 375 Ruger rifle in stock. Guide Gun, African, and FTW. The other "safari" rifles on Buds are 375 Ruger Mossberg, and 378 Weatherby Deluxe. Euro Optics has in stock: Mauser 98 modern magnum safari rifles in 375, 416 Rigby and 450 Rigby Savage 110...

25-30 years ago I tried to import a zoo tiger skin from BC into Washington. The taxidermist selling it wasn't interested in selling it to me, even if I just drove across the border with it, without declaring it. Highly illegal but I was in my 20's and bullet proof. So I never did that. This...

Bloody hell yes.

This is a good set up.

I don't really trust anyone other than myself. Takes a small amount of equipment, torque gauges, a rifle stand and some bubble levels. You want things to fit you, not some gunsmith.

This happened in 2021. I was sad (remorseful?) to see that Cal Pappa was on the email. He passed a few years ago and I miss him. He was a hell of a guy.

There are countless threads where folks have done this. You can bitch about it, but people do it every year. There are a lot of dead buffalo, lions, bears and a few elephants taken by the 45-70. Maybe it's not the best, but certainly works. A lot of people who have never killed anything...

I am hoping they offer a black rifle with a synthetic McMillan safari stock at some point. Would be super if it came with integral mounts like their other rifles do.
