The rifle is slowly getting together, just a few photo's of where it's up to.


The whole thing has been one big nightmare, I could write a book on the things I have had to do to get to this stage. Permits and attourney general approvals....you name it

Here's some of the bits and pieces, the end product isn't too far away now



Action I used is a well kept and tidy P14, I had a nice M17 but the darm thing had a hole tapped thru the top bolt recoil lug so we chose not to use it.

The head space gauge must be wrong, my gunsmith says it is 17 to 20 thou too big, so he has head spaced on the cases I got off Wayne at AHR.

My Gunsmith has got the action opened up, it just need some fine tuning and a polish and the bolt face opened and holding the cases no problems, however now it won't let them go, it's too good a fit holding on very tight. The extractor spring has been modified slightly and needs a polish

The Muzzle brake needs a little tidying up and the bore of it cleaned up but it fits nicely








Bolt handle upgrade next, barrel recoil lug to be added, rear peep on the action and a standard NECG front sight. No scope mounts for this baby

The single stack magazine box below just needs the clip springs tig welded to it, but I think I will make another one a bit longer here's a picture of the one I have already made, I was pleased with it, it came up well. It's a 3 piece, 2 sides and a rear plate mig'd together



Whole gun will get a sandblast and matt blued, finished off with a cross bolted and bedded black pepper laminate stock that Jeffe is making me....... it won't be girly pretty but it will look tuff and ruggard

Can't wait, will keep you guys up to date. So many people to thank on here, I'll get around to it shortly when it's finished

Hey Paz,
I think S&F still wants us to sight the 600OK for him. After having a good look at it ... I might pass it to you. She's certainly impressive in the metal ... and I'm still not 100% certain why gunsmiths working on big bores are always smiling! Small bore 'smiths always seem to frown.
Cheers...

I would like to see what that will do to a roo!

What it will do to a Roo isnt pretty! looks like you stuffed a beer can through one end and out the other. Great job on a tough project. My hats off to you!-Rob

Yeh aahhhmmm, think i will fondle handle it first before i make up my mind if I'm up for that .

That brake should make it a lot more freindly, i hope for our sake.

Paz

That break looks like one of John McMorrows, It works very well,probably will reduce felt recoil by 40% or better.-Rob

Rob

it is one of Johns, he also sold me one of his barrels but sadly things have really tightened up in the US and they would not allow a 620 barrel out of the states. It worked out because Wayne from AHR found a buyer for it

I ended up getting a 600 nitro barrel out of Europe, it cost a lot more than the original

I say you could throw a dead cat through the hole.
