Hi All,

Well I have several bespoke made rifles but none of them did I have built, silly really because one of them for what I paid for it it seems that I could have gone to the maker and ordered one to be built as I wanted .... Oh well I have a beautiful one off rifle that truely is one off as they decided it was a bit much hassle wise to get it to feed the rimmed 30-30 case so said that they will not make another like it :-

30-30 Medwell & Perritt bolt action

.256" Rigby Mannlicher

7x57 DWM Special sporting made for the Boer's in about 1897

And then the one in progress, a Mannlicher Model 1903 which has a new barrel in 6.5x54MS now I need a nice new figured wood stock for it

I did start to have a rifle built and got all the specs worked out with teh Gunsmith when the parent firm closed the operation down
