470 Nitro Express Components For Sale

Actually they were a gift from my wife. Years ago she bought me a leather ammo wallet with "470 Nitro Express" on it. She ordered these to go in it.
 
My mistake, I didn't realize that someone had posted a question. Yes, the Westley Richards are factory loaded rounds (x5).

Thank you for the reply sir!
 
Selling gifts from your wife is a very BAD idea, unless she’s no longer around then it’s brilliant[emoji56]
 
She's ok with it. She's a very good girl that way. Once I find a Gibbs, she'll probably buy me another. Top of the line, that one is.
 
Hope u r a big stout nugget, cause the Gibbs is a monster on both ends— make sure it fits well and should be ok

I thought recoil was "all in your head";)

Kidding aside, since i was very young, ive not owned too many long guns that didn't kick like a young mule. The 500 A-Square still stands out in my mind, as did the 550gr buffalo bullets in the Farmingdale 50-140 Sharps with the crescent steel buttplate. That one just hurt a lot. None of them though, come anywhere close to the 10lb Ruger #1 shooting a 750gr A-Max in the 50-140 Sharps. Not sure that I have a way to describe that one in English words.

Very much looking forward to finding a Gibbs though.

So, is there no one willing to trade the entire lot for 10 pieces of 505 Gibbs brass? I would have thought the box of 5 factory loaded Westley Richards would be worth that.

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?
