congomikeUltimate .50 Mauser?
http://smith-wessonforum.com/f...75f52722042a0033161bI shamelessly borrowed this from the Smith-Wesson forum, in the other makes firearms section. I just thought this was very interesting and shows what a great gunsmith Fred Wells was.

jeffeossoFred made these in the 70s/80s - well, he and his shop team, and machined them out from a billet -- it's not not not a mauser, but there's likely some patent infringement
super cool concept, but for a REAL Mauser, that actually was used

PD999Wow, that's even bigger than the old-style Heym Express bolt-action, which could handle 600NE cases
