Nice wood. Noticed the extended wood down around the mag box. How many does it hold down?

28 February 2005, 06:50

WVFred

gixxer,
It holds 3 down.It is a single stack magazine with clips on the side like an old 425WR.

Jack Hough is, IMO, the ultimate gunmaker in the modern world...I did not know that he was still doing gun work, thought he was making buggys...I have a Jack Hough rifle with an Obermyer barrel, its quit a gun..Danny Beck is a genious of a Smith but your damn lucky you ever saw you gun if you paid him in advance...
