Here are some screenshots of Merkels in the past month. Of course, the one for 17,000 is still available, but the other two give a good idea of current real world pricing.

I studied up on the Merkels and just bought a 140AE in .470 as my first double. 15 seems about in line with what I have seen them sell for recently, maybe a bit high, but the optic and ammunition is worth some money. You could probably find one for less without the extras. If you want an...

470 Capstick is a cool cartridge, I havent seen anybody who can do a .470 rebore though. JES and Oregunsmithing will do .458, is there somebody I am missing ?

I believe A-Square was instrumental in the commercialization of the .458 Lott so it would be fitting for this rifle. Here is a picture from my 1991 Gun Digest showing the .458 Lott as a chambering option for the Hannibal, well before Ruger and Hornady brought it mainstream.

My condolences, thanks for letting us know.

It is not quite as heavy as it looks, right at 10 pounds. Rebored to .458 would reduce that by maybe half a pound. I guess I should really shoot it as a .338 and see how it shoots. It has the second recoil lug welded to the barrel as most A-Squares do, which in some cases, at least reportedly...

I recently bought an A-Square Hannibal on a Winchester 1917 action. I believe I got a good deal on it, got it for the opening bid of $799.00 on Gunbroker. Seller had it listed as a Winchester 1917, no mention of A-Square. I am a huge 1917/P14/Rem 30/A-Square fan, so bid on it out of that...

PM sent regarding .474 Woodleighs

Here is my Ruger new model Single-Six .22 LR/.22 magnum with a grip frame off a Ruger Super Blackhawk .44 Magnum. I like the larger grip frame because I have fairly large hands. Obviously the larger grip frame requires different grip panels as well.

Nice rifle !

Never been scoped by my own rifles, despite many rounds through some hard kickers. Got cut once with my uncle's lightweight T/C Contender 45/70 carbine with stout loads and a scope that was not set to proper eye relief for me.

Yes and no, the Single-Six, Blackhawk, and Super Blackhawk share the same "footprint" for the grip frame's attachment to the receiver/frame. So grip frames will swap between the different sized New Models. The actual serialized frames are differently sized between the models. The Bearcats...

Numrich has a steel unblued grip frame that would work: https://www.gunpartscorp.com/products/721590b The Ruger New Model grip frames are pretty much interchangeable, I put a steel Super Blackhawk grip frame with the square back trigger guard on my Single-Six. Ignore the "not for 7.5 or 10...

The actual frame that surrounds the cylinder and barrel is threaded into is the receiver and is serialized. Grip frames are unregulated and commonly swapped, many used and aftermarket options, at least in US. Google RW grip frames.
