The acceptable christmas gift

[HWL]

For all women, who think costly gifts like socks, underpants and aftershave are necessary for a man...… this thread is not for you.

Something simple, lovingly built together, just wood and steel, is sufficient to make a man happy.

For example, a Ruger No1 in .405 Winchester.....

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas . I received a box of these from a friend from Idaho yesterday for Christmas .

I cannot wait to give them a try this Friday in my Belgian side by side shotgun.
The best Christmas gift which l ever received in my life was this , from my dearly deceased friend and former professional shikaree partner , Tobin Stakkatz . If he was still alive today , then he would have gotten me a Winchester Model 70 I .416 Remington magnum ( which l always wanted to shoot ) .

How did he get them to you?....I would have thought it would be complicated

In Bangladesh ( not India ) , imported fire arms and ammunition are fortunately allowed to be possessed by citizens , Spike T.
Tobin Stakkatz bought me the shot gun from Europe . I merely applied for a 2nd shot gun license and l received legal ownership of it .
Imported firearms and ammunition are widely available in Bangladesh as well.

That's good ... but was wondering how the shotgun rounds got to you from Idaho?

Make sure, your FN SxS has 76mm chambers....

Oh , that is easy , Spike T. The friend is in Bangladesh now. He came from Idaho day before yesterday and brought the box of cartridges with him . I received them yesterday.
A foreigner is allowed to bring up to 250 rounds of ammunition ( the 1st 100 being duty free ) and 2 firearms into Bangladesh at any given time after filing paperwork with the TRC in Bangladesh ( which typically takes a couple of weeks ) . He cannot however bring a .303 bore rifle or a 9 mm calibre pistol ( unfortunately , but this law remained unchanged since Bangladesh was originally a part of Pakistan ) . Other than that , he can bring anything else he or she desires .

Oh yes , HWL.

It has 3 inch chambers , extractors and 28 inch barrels . Left barrel is full choke. Right barrel is modified choke . It is made in 1958 or 1959.

Very nice! I have a 45-70 Ruger no.1 listed locally to make somebody’s day!

I’m hoping to get a 350 Legend myself.
