jeffeosso is taking on this project and i think he has a verrry generous offer of letting us use the reamers for free instead of renting them out to those who want to make one for ourselves. all a.r. people will be able to have access to the reamers so lets help him with the costs of the r+d...he needs to make the reamers buy the barrels, actions ect ect not to mention his time. lets support this endeavour after all it is the A.R. line of carts. i am sure he would feel supported and encouraged if all his costs are covered. i am suggesting $20 donations. pledge here by leaving a reply with your intentions

so far we have pledges from me
vapodog
577nitroexpress

thank you in advance...

here is the drawings for the first three

Where can I send the pledge $$$$?

Can I send via paypal?

Jeffe,

Reply to me via private message and I'll support your project.

Just include an address, and I'll send it along.

Please post name & address to send and check will be in mail.

I'll throw in, PM me with name/address.

I will pledge the suggested amount, but may I suggest a 1-10" twist in order to maintain bullet stability within a game animal?

was proud to check the post this morning and found you guys chipping in...this is what makes this place so great. thanks and keep it going good to see you back on board grains...

I'll help, too.

PM me

I'm in. Send me an address, por favor.

Is this offer open to Canadians as well?
If so email me
thanks

jeffeosso...you might need to make several reamers to send around one for canada one for the u.s. one for africa

I dropped my donation in the mail this afternoon. Should get to Jeff sometime next week!

It does me good to see the number of contributors....I just returned Jeff's PM and commented about how folks aren';t signing up for it.....You guys proved me wrong....and thanks...

Jeff/////the check's in the mail.....

I jumped on this thread to late. Accomplished a search and didnt find what I was looking for. What type of velocities are we talking about for the 458 and 470?

Thanks guys.. you guys rock...

I guess the reamers will be multi national!!

i am projecting 2200 with both... at moderate pressure.. capacity will be close to that of the lott.. larger case, not quite as long

jeffe

I'm thinking the 470 will be capable of 2400 w/ 500's from a 24" tube, if one wants to load it to 65 kpsi, I figure the 45 will be capable of 2300 so loaded, maybe a tad more.

That said, I'm planning on a 22" tube and will be content with 2200.

I paypalled a few sheckles down South to help in the effort

Interesting. Just when I was convinced to send my LH Win 70 Safari 375H&H in for rebarreling to 458 lott you guys come up and give me this!!!!!!!. How do you expect anyone to make up there minds? Haha.
But seeing how I also just bought a new LH Win 70 in 7mm mag ( couldnt pass it up, $449) Gesh, I only have so much money

I forgot to mention one of the benefits of this design, since lefties have a darn hard time finding a full length mag action, it opens up their options greatly.

Friends don't let friends shoot 7 mags

Paul,
wow..

cover's lefty's
the 7 remmag problem
lever DGRs (if you GOTTA have a 45 for a DGR, make it a 458 A.R.)
and cheap brass...

LMAO...

excellent work .. see, i new there was a reason i was sharing the blaime... er credit, for design with these

jeffe

Hi Jeff
I'll chip in when I see you in Texas in a couple of weeks since it will probably be quicker than the mail.
Take care
Dave

lever DGRs

yessss!!!!!

praise be to the hallowed hunters of old!!!!

someone here actualy endorses a lever d.g.r.!!!!!



:Clap :

this may give new thought on which is the best action for d.g. with a lever being faster than a bolt and faster than a reloaded double



watch out africa...the cowboy shooters are here

all thanks to a smart smith in texas who goes by jeffeosso

Boom, we're going to have to fine you for excessive use of emoticons...$20 more dollars into the kitty...

damn!

Dammm, boom stick,

Now you have me thinking about a BLR/450AR. If for no other reason than to jab at the anti-lever types on the African Hunting Forum. There is no way that they can honestly claim 500gr @ 2200fps from a lever ain't able to take whatever you want.

Now how do you get a BLR to weigh 10lbs?

Hog Killer

aint life grand...this alone will get jeffe on the cover of rifle magazine

kick-ease pad, double mercury recoil supressors and a lot of lead

Jeffe,

Check will be in the mail tomorrow.

hog killer...the 375 could be your one gun safari rifle since it is projected to be faster than the h+h

boom stick,

I have thought about a 375 something or other. As I have a great .458 Lott. Oh, by the way, I DO NOT BELEIVE IN ONE GUN ANYTHING

Hog Killer

hog killer...you are right...

africa needs four rifles

470a.r.
416a.r.
375a.r
338a.r.


all in a browning b.l.r.

plus a marlin guide gun in 45-70 for the p.h.

Spend your money anyway you wish.

George

george...what do you think of the ar carts?
that was not a critique...

your capstick is great...this would enable more people to shoot a capstick like cart in a common action...it does not take away from the capstick, it is the benchmark.

more people would shoot big bores and you would have more people to moderate

Start With one that comes chambered in a 300 Win Mag..Go pistol grip..there harder to find but your going to want the pistol grib..trust me ..Next we take a barrel blank .. you pick the company you like best for barrels..Go air gauge .. its just add's fuel to the fire under the "Africa forum boys" next have the barrel
turned to a 780 crown at 26 inchs<-which is were most of the wight comes in.
Next ..Its time to work on the butt stock..
no matter who says what .. you will need a super
upgrade on the recoil pad ..
to atleast a decelerator pad at the least
Your going to need a banded front sight
and a three leaf rear sight ..Midway has some of diffrent types And your going to want to add
a barrel band for that african look and for the
strap.. Your rifle should weigh about 11.8 Lbs
now..Happy hunting ..O ya you might want to add
a rear flip up sight to give it that ......
.."Real western look" ..and last but not least book your hunt the same time King Ray does
so you can rub it in .? someones face ..

Martin

Easy there Boom!

I'll believe it when I see the field trophy pictures!

you are right rusty...

who is lined up for a safari to test it out for us...my safari is a few years off

hey rip...you out there...can your iron buffalo have a date with the 470, 458, 416, 375a.r.?

Martin,

I like most of your ideas, but I would go with a ghost ring receiver sight instead. They are much faster for me and I can see more of the target/critter.

Well, if as posted above, you should have gone to the "Small Game Forum" with this story. Digital Dan and the boys there would have gotten a kick out of any cat getting hit with a 50-110.
