8 Bore Jones Under Lever Project With Extras

[AZDAVE]

A few years back I was having Colin Stolzer build this rifle for me. It was the year that we lost my dad and I helped my family with funeral costs so this project came to a halt. Colin was a gentleman about the change of plan and he offered to sell the work that had been completed or send what was done to me. I chose to have him send it to me and it has been in storage in my shop since. I did check with him about sending it back to have it completed and he is working full time as an engraver and not taking one gunsmithing projects. I have lost interest in the project so this is an opportunity for someone to jump on

All the metal fabrication is complete and rifle needs stocked, the sights regulated to a load you develop, bluing of the metal parts and final finish work. It comes with all the additional parts to finish, a english walnut stock blanks, 20 rounds of RMC brass, a round ball mold and a barrel stub that is chambered to be used as a resizing die.

Very cool!

 

[AZDAVE]

I forgot to add that will consider trades on this one.

 

[Sarge]

May I ask the twist rate of barrel?

 

[AZDAVE]

I would have to check

So very awesome, would love to have that, I started a Double 8 Bore 11yrs ago & that stalled after the Gunsmith went back to normal work & now I'm stuck with not enough skill to finish or even start properly .

Yours is a beauty, what is the weight, can it be fired & has it been proofed ?

Much cheaper & easier to use 8 Ga industrial cases from Remington or Winchester, I use them in my 8 Bore shotgun to !

Good luck on the sale & wish I was closer .

 

[AZDAVE]

@Sarg I used to have a 8 bore shotgun and the industrial cases work great, you just have to swage the raised belt on the case down with your resizer.

This will make someone a great rifle.

I am guessing by the places you have hunted that you are in New Zealand or Australia?

 

[Sarg]

I bet it will, looks very nice work so far, yes right now I'm stuck in NZ but would be in Africa if not for this dam Virus !!

 

[AZDAVE]

Need to get this to someone that will enjoy it. so price Drop to $3400

Partial of full trades will be considered-Rifles 22 Hornet to 505 Gibbs? or something interesting?

 

[AZDAVE]

One last price drop $2800

A trade was worked with another AH member. Thank you everyone for looking.

 

[Sarg]

Well done bud, I wish the world wasn't so hard to get firearms & parts around now days, the bad guys still move theirs around Ok, that's if the Governments don't do it for them !!

Hope to see it finished & some game shot with it on here some day please ?

Hey Sarg. I’ll give you three guesses who AZDAVE’s trade partner is.

And I will definitely update you on progress and hunting with the beast.

 

[Sarg]

Haha lol, I should have guessed, what fun you are going to have, when you get them going bring them over to shoot a Buff or three, use the single & Ill back up with the Double lol !
