Shotgun forend sleeves. 5 of these are marked as “Hand crafted by John W. Bugden Murray, KY” and 2 are unmarked by maker.

Some of them have light use/handling marks, but they all appear to be mostly unused and would (from my estimation) make for a new fit without wear slack.

There are 2x 16ga, 3x 20ga, & 2x .410.

$45/ea, $10 shipping. I’ll cover shipping if you want 3 or more. If you want the lot, $250 tyd stateside. I’ll also consider trades for 9.3x62 and 404 Jeffery dies and components.

Do you think any of those would fit a double rifle? I'm guessing the barrels on my 470 are roughly 28 gauge size? So maybe the 410?

I couldn’t get AH to load last night to reply.

I know you’re not far, so shipping wouldn’t be much at all. I’d be happy to send them over and you can try them out, send them back if they don’t fit well enough.

I might do that. Let me think on it and I may try a couple of them. I have a SxS 20 gauge that has O.D. green cerakote and that black one would look really good on it and I think one of the other smaller ones may fit my double. Both the 20 gauge and the double have what I would say are splinter fore ends. The D.R. is a Kreighoff

If you decide to try them, just shoot me a PM and we can sort it from there.

Good looking guns and critters there.
 
Take your pick and keep your fingers a little warmer as the weather cools.
 
I'll take a couple. I need one for my 20 gauge and I'm going to try one on my double rifle. I'm thinking maybe #5 and #7. Shoot me a PM when you get a chance with your payment info and I'll get you a shipping address.

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

This compares favorably to 7 Rem Mag. with less powder & recoil.

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.
