Nice pick ups at a local gun show today

[Tintin]

An old box of Kynoch 450 NE and a reprint of the 1902 Kynoch catalogue.

Good to see they had a couple of pages for the Australians back in the day

A few other interesting sights to take in at the show - including a bloke getting around in full Jack Sparrow garb

I heard back from my mate who is a Kynoch guru.

He advised that the 450 NE cartridges manufacturing date is 23rd of June 1972. Of significance as 1972 was apparently the last year of manufacture of Kynoch centre fire ammunition after 46 years of production.

@Tintin
All you need now is the double that goes with the ammo.

Hopefully one day Bob,

There was one on UG fairly recently.

In the meantime there is a Ruger No. 1 H headed my way that will be a 450 3 1/4" when it grows up .

It will also see a few 450 BPE loads

Congratulations, you will like that #1!

Thanks @F. Vaccaro - it will be a bit of fun. Dies have just arrived - so I guess I'm committed now .

@Tintin
Committed or should be committed. Your choice.

Tintin, that could become your favorite rifle!
It will be fun.
Mine shoots better if you hand
hold the forearm on the sandbags.
