My guess is its a 44 WCF aka 44-40 if a 45 Colt is close to fittting. Looks like a Colt 1873 "Peacemaker" to my non-expert eyes. Looks like not only the ejector rod was removed, the frame boss for the rod was ground off. Interesting piece for sure !

I just saw this last night. Supposedly an outfit converting 7600s to 375 and 416 Ruger.

I agree the primers look normal, not flattened like one would expect to see when running into pressure signs with a bolt action. The thing is, break actions can exhibit problems with pressure at lower levels than what could cause problems with a bolt action. There is a reason traditional double...

I dont have double rifle experience, but do have experience with T/C Contenders and Encores, and a family member with a New England Handi Rifle that I handloaded 270 for. What you describe is what I have experienced when loads are generating too much pressure. The brass is stretching upon firing...

Beautiful rifle ! Are these 4+1 in the 404 ?

The Mosin -Nagant, one of the most rugged and reliable, if not refined, military bolt action rifles ever fielded is a push feed. One of the most mass produced military bolt action rifles in history, with over 37 million in various variants produced. The Russians have a reputation for building...

Just received the 2-7 compact. Every bit as good as described, I am very pleased ! Thanks Smo1127 and a bump to the top !!

My buddy used a 7x57 and 168 LRXs on a zebra at approximately 80 yards and a wildebeest around 200 yards. Bullet performance on both was excellent with pass throughs, major tissue damage, and fast death. I believe muzzle velocity was around 2650, so that should equate to the impact velocity at...

No disrespect intended. If you took it as disrespectful thats on you. When the action type is different than stated that does not inspire confidence in a buyer. Thought maybe you were selling for a third party and did not have the rifle. 200 vs 202 ? Typos happen. Straight pull vs conventional...

Not a straight pull and not a 200. Your listing does not inspire confidence. Do you actually posess this rifle ?

Heck of a deal and I am sure the buyer will be happy, but that looks like a Mossberg, not a Benelli.

Wow, heck of a deal. I am going to be in Namibia on another hunt during this time frame. Been seeing enough of these cancellation hunts come up, that may be my new strategy. Dont book a hunt, wait till a deal falls into place and be ready to go !!

Both extractors seemed to have the same amount of tension when removing from bolt. I was able to accomplish removal and installation with my fingers, no tools required. I do plan on modifying my .458 extractor to match the one off my .375. In my 458 this extractor takes less effort to snap...

I had a rude awakening today. I am just a couple weeks out from my buff and elephant hunt and today finally did a timed drill with my .458 built on a Czech military Mauser. I had been shooting this .458 for over a year, zeroing the irons, zeroing the scope, load development, etc. It had been...

Yes, it is secured by two screws. I have a Remington 798 which is just a Zastava M70 rebranded by Remington. It had the same rear sight you pictured. I removed it and installed a ERA sight from NECG. Here are pictures of the factory sight: The ERA sight base from NECG is only designed to...
