Good Gun Deals This Week

[Wheels]

Looks like J.J. has a decent deal on a 404J, built on a 1909 Argentine. I am unfamiliar with the gunmaker.

If he is selling it, he has satisfied himself that it is a quality firearm.

The Schmidt and Bender on it is $2000 alone, it's a great deal if you have a line on brass or ammo.

 

[Wyfox]

Not a steal but a pretty good deal on a Westley 318, gun has obviously been refinished and a high quality job of it too. Documented Rhodesia rifle is cool. The Buff horn forend tip was added at some point later but done poorly.

JJ will be very honest with you as to the condition and how well the gun was made.

Many quality rifles have been built on 1909's. I am unfamiliar with the gun maker however.

 

[Altitude sickness]

That Argentina Mauser is a very good deal.

i have just heard @rookhawk say time after time to avoid DR in 375 caliber due to many factors. Of course it is a Heym which might make a difference

Germans and Austrians have been building .375 doubles that work perfectly for nearly a century. I have owned period examples and a modern S2. They were all superbly accurate and superbly dependable. But if unfounded prejudice lowers the price, all the better.

Interesting from @redleg. @rookhawk per chance i have misinterpreted your comments. while i thought in the beginning of a DR in 375 i opted very happily i might add to do bolt actions in this caliber. just my preference.

I am not arguing with anyone. But the conventional wisdom that a rimmed cartridge is necessary for a double rifle is early 20th century absolutism.. Perhaps for English gunmakers that was true a hundred years ago. For the same period of time in Austria and Germany gunmakers have been building .375 chambered rifles of absolute reliability.

This .375 assumptions are part and parcel of the whole "proper" double rile group think that pervades so much of the discussion about these rifles.

If anyone needs to rid themselves of such poor representation of a double, please contact me.

There was a double distributer, huge fan of the 375 Flanged. Never mentioned or dismissed anything against the H&H, just personal preference. They are unique, imo.

It's multiple things @Red Leg . I completely concede that for a non-dangerous game double rifle, ejectors-only (rimless) is not a big deal. You don't die if your ejector jams.

The bigger issue with 375HH is that it is a bolt action cartridge by design. That means that its speed, powder type, and grain weight of the bullets have dynamically changed significantly since 1911. The 375 Flanged has not, since its a double rifle cartridge that had to remain static, using the ICI/Kynoch 1926 specifications for service pressure, powder (cordite), and grain weight (270 and 300gr). This gives to ease of regulation compared to 375HH where any vendor can and does make any velocity, using any powder, with grain weights of 235, 250, 270, 300, and 350gr bullets.

Postscript specific to this point: "For the same period of time in Austria and Germany gunmakers have been building .375 chambered rifles of absolute reliability." I don't agree. A good friend and member bought a lightly used best Heym 375HH and 470NE two barrel set recently at auction. Lovely gun, easily $75000-$80,000 replacement cost. The 375HH barrels were pretty screwed up. It took a couple of hours of prudent gunsmithing advice via phone call to get kroil into the ejector pins as they were seized, to irrigate out all the hardened grease in the ejector spurs, and a sturdy push on the end of a wood table to re-cock the ejector dogs in the forend. Will it be a fine rifle in 375HH for eland or a leopard out of a blind? Sure it will. Do they have the reliability and ease of service of his 470NE barrels that worked, even caked with hardened grease? Not even close. Rimless ejector spurs and pins are sensitive, delicate machinery. Reloaded belted magnum cartridges that expand on the sidewalls with resizing adds to the risk factors over time.
