Rigby 9.3x62 Full Custom HS

No offense or taking away from this beautiful rifle but why in the hell would Rigby not take the effort to time the screws on this thing! I would not part with this rifle Paul, I think everyone here agrees that you will kick yourself down the road!
Not the only gunmaker to do so. I don’t know about the construction of a double, but I wondered why the screw on this Holland and Holland for sale by them wasn’t clocked. It looks like the others screws are. Wondered if it was because it had been taken apart as one of the smaller screws looks worn.

Great point, you would think these guys would understand what they are selling!

Great to know someone else would like to see the screws "aligned" on a rifle of this class :D Beers:

The electrical outlet plate screws in my entire house are timed.

I also agree - they should be timed on this wonderful rifle. I would think that should be standard protocol on a custom Rigby?

And if you think I am anal, Cody times the tires on his truck every time he leaves for work.

Simply beautiful rifle. Best of luck to seller and eventual buyer.

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?
