when i was at pauls the other day i was going through my rifles he has in storage and here is one i had forgotten about
its a brockman conversion on a marlin 45-70. it has a 16 inch barrel rear peep sights and the front blade has protective wings, and it has a sliding trap door on the bottom of the stock that holds 4 extra rounds in individual slots.

and another photo of the .500 jeffery

this was the first time i had seen this rifle as the one i looked at at sci had been sold . the balance with the 20 inch barrel is great and it comes up perfectly. paul has tried it and it shoots a bit low and left so he is going to put a slightly higher back sight on it and it should be fine. both he and one of the people that work for him said it boots the least of any .500 jeff they have shot, still noticeable though .the trigger pull is very nice and it hasnt been touched , and it feeds fine with kynoch ammo but i want it regulated with norma so hopefully it will feed fine with that as well.

Mike, you forgot you owned a gun??? How the heck does that happen, LOL. Maybe I should keep that fine firearm in storage. I like the looks of that Marlin. Congrats on the CZ!!!!!

Obviously Mike is one of very few of us who "may" be getting close to having enough guns!

all the serial numbers paul had as a runout deal when he sold rigbys years ago are all taken i think, but he can build you exactly the same rifle and in left hand drive but it would be a Roberts after his company now.

Don't tell me stuff like that.
Makes for very expensive thoughts...

I had literally never heard of Brockman until I found the .458 Lott I now own. Those levers guns are his speciality though it seems. Sure looks like that one could be a lot of fun, if I guy remembered he had one that is!!!,

Now that is truly the definition of a safe queen. Kept in storage in the UK and forgotten about!!!!!

Timt," Dangerus game rifle" it very good club.

it would be illegal in Australia (18.5 inch barrel ,min) but that marlin would get a work out ,as a scrub gun
