I started a new build this week. I won't be doing a fully detailed build documentation of this one because it will basically be just like the other Jones Underlevers I've built. I will post updates though as the build progresses.

Thank you for all the effort to document your work. I have learned a lot and I am sure I speak for many. Passing on these skills and knowledge inspires.

Colin, Great Website! You have me dreaming of a 775 Rigby aka the 10 Bore that was in an article by Jim Dickson in the 1996 issue of Gun Digest........I fell in love with that double every since I first read the article. In fact I loved it so much that I actually cut out the article from Gun Digest and actually LAMINATED the pages to save it for prosperity. I did the same with an '88 article from Guns & Ammo by Ross Seyfried talking about the 4 and 8 bores......great read too, I must say!!! October Country was making a round ball doubles for a few years, but has since quit; It is refreshing that people like YOU remake and pay homage to the old lead and BP Dangerous Game age. JFYI, the 10 Bore that I loved so much was set up for 1350 grain conicals, and sported a 1:41" twist with 26" barrels (and a spare set of smooth bore water fowling barrels that were 32 inchers). As much as I would love a 8 Bore, after having a Titanium spinal fusion of 14 vertebrae, I can handle the recoil of my .416 Rigby (any more and I am hesitant of bending "hardware"; and I definitely don't want another surgery if I can help it, and that 10 bore would be the max for me. Thanks for sharing Your Website! I subscribed to your channel on YouTube, and am very impressed. THANK YOU COLIN for keeping the true BIG; BIGGEST of BORES alive!!!

PS. Colin.....if you may be interested in the two articles that I mentioned, I think I have them on .jpg articles on my spare computer and could forward possibly them to you.

woodsracer,
I Ripped out and filed those articles too.

Colin,
Thanks for another look at High Art, work in progress.

There is something about a Jones Underlever rifle, either single or double, that is so compelling! I really look forward to your builds Colin and personally I'm chuffed it's another Jones. Great work so far!!

Colin is finishing up my budget 10 Bore SxS cartridge rifle as we speak.

I know it has been many months since I have update this build or my blog at all for that matter. I’ve had a few set backs with this project and ended up missing the delivery deadline. First real set-back was when my milling machine broke the main drive gear in the geared head unit. In any case the video below is the current state of the 8 Bore, basically all of the metal work is complete and it is ready to be inlet into wood. Since I missed the delivery deadline on this project and this was being built on a trade deal I had worked out, I simply returned the Trade rifle to the customer with compensation for delivery of his rifle to me and for the small amout of shooting I did with it while it was in my possession. Unfortunately that leaves this 8 Bore as a speculation build in my shop, so I’m going to set it on a back burner and work on it as time permits. I’ll be moving on to the next paying project shortly.

If anybody would like to buy up this 8 Bore project please email or call me to discuss it, my contact information can be found at Stolzer Gunsmithing.

Sorry to hear about the mill. I do really like the pictures of how the action functions.
