Re: 50 Fireplug: 500 J in a short action? BIG PICS
Okay, many moons later I have finally got the pics uploaded to the internet. Now remember I am not claiming this is great work, it is what it is. The rifle is a VZ24 with a 50 caliber Lothar Walther barrel chambered in 500 Jeffery and the trigger guard was whipped up to allow a decent magazine capacity for the same with a single stack mag. We did make a billet aluminium floorplate for 8mm orginally and put it on another mauser, the 20 rd mauser bolt action brought some stares at the local three gun match! I believe down the road the BAR mag will be shortened to allow four down in 500 Jeffery but that is on the back burner.

Yeah, the only other pics I have right now is a lengthwise of the whole rifle, it is pretty ugly with a cheapo plastic stock and big old 6x fixed $40 scope...
I will post one of it and attempt to shrink the size of the pics
The rifle's owner lives about 2 hrs away, as soon as I get a chance to get back with him I will take some more pics.
