CZ 550 .458 Lott

This is the thread I started.

I would look at the rim of your brass. One thing I noticed was the cases had large gashes from the extractor. Sanding the extractor (not the bolt face) helped immensely. I wish I would have done this first before any modifications to the feed ramp.

Another modification to improve feeding requires removing the barrel. The portion of the barrel that meets the action on the chamber side is square cut. Removing the barrel and turning it on a lathe so that the squared end becomes an angle that feeds into the chamber will help with feeding round nose bullets like Hornady

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?
