My only question is... when does the production on the stainless actions start!!! On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died. If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch... Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son! - Rudyard Kipling Life grows grim without senseless indulgence. | |||

So, what's the latest on the firing pin issue? Sorry. Sorry. I just can't help jerking you gents' collective chain. I'm really glad you men are geting what you paid for, and that you like what you are getting. So long as there are such things as Dakota 76 and Mauser 98 actions around, I'm not gonna' worry. Good hunting. | |||

Received mine with a 505 bolt face yesterday. Looks pretty good but will need some action smoothing. 465H&H | |||

Mauser 93, I will let you be the one to build and test fire a 505 Gibbs built on a Mauser 98 action. For $650 and shipping I do not think this action can be beat. Wayne at AHR agrees with me. Rich | |||

I agree but the days of $650 are over; $1100 now, $1200 for stainless. Sill a lot of action for the money considering the competition is $3500 or greater. "Experience" is the only class you take where the exam comes before the lesson. | |||

I have seen only one granit mountian action (about 5 years ago). Its a $3500 action that requires the same amount of tuneing and set up as the ph. In some ways it may be better than the ph , but for the differance in the money I don't see it. JD DRSS 9.3X74 tika 512 9.3X74 SXS Merkel 140 in 470 Nitro | |||

I've had two GMA action guns, one done by Mike Roden himself-that gun was all GMA. I just sold that rifle chambered in 505 Gibbs and nearly cried. While I will say the GMA is the better action of the two the MRC is a very close second for sure and mine is Stainless. FYI. The display of PURE POWER is nothing short of AWESOME ! 1 JOHN 3:18 | |||

I'm excited to start seeing some pics of everyone's custom rifles! I believe honors go to JD for first pics in a synthetic stock. Whose going to have the first wood stocked one for us to drool over? ____________________________ If you died tomorrow, what would you have done today ... 2018 Zimbabwe - Tuskless w/ Nengasha Safaris 2011 Mozambique - Buffalo w/ Mashambanzou Safaris | |||

mpi has had my stock for a month now and have made a inletting plug for the ph. They are working on a proper stock. I expect to have the first one soon and will report back. I will give them a call this week and find out where they are with it. JD DRSS 9.3X74 tika 512 9.3X74 SXS Merkel 140 in 470 Nitro | |||

I put it in the big heavy t-hole stock as it is my 700, and it shoots easy with that setup. Even with 15,000 ft lb loads.Ed MZEE WA SIKU | |||

Ed, my 10 gauge barrel is supposed to be done by Christmas. I'll have about 26" left over. Interested? Rich | |||

Doc of MPI said he should have a stock to me next week or so , then a fast bedding and fairing job will have it ready to make a mold of it. You will need to bed them and paint them and install a recoil pad. Not hard to do if you want to learn how. JD DRSS 9.3X74 tika 512 9.3X74 SXS Merkel 140 in 470 Nitro | |||

Masterful  now if that was a gray laminate stock, it would look exactly like the "All-weather SS/Laminate 600 OverKill" I'll bring to Alaska after you build it for me!

I have a Bastogne walnut stock with good figure and coloration just awaiting a master plan on what I want my 505 Gibbs to look like. The picture above is certainly helping that cause. | |||

Wayne -- did you make any changes to the bolt release on the Gibbs? ------------------------------- Some Pictures from Namibia Some Pictures from Zimbabwe An Elephant Story | |||

Charles, We didn't make any changes to the bolt release. We did a couple of other minor changes and cut in scope ring dovetails. | |||

Wayne, if I supplied a CM PH action(505 boltface) and the stick of wood, of which I have both, what is the cost of such work as this with a nice matte blue finish in 505 Gibbs? How much did the cut-in scope rings add to the cost? In a 505, may not need a scope at all, but it is an option. Woody | |||
