Seems interesting. Anyone here know any more information about maybe the rifle or the smith?


My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

If you go to Nitro Express and send CptCurl a message, he might get back to youas the picture is in his folder on NE.


Alternatively, have a look through NE as you might find more info on the gun since the pic is hosted there.



Do a search on NE for "BlainSmipy" or "Blain Smipy"

A shotgun conversion, but with a claimed claimed load of 750gr at 1,950 fps, which isn't too far off a modern 577 NE. I wonder if the action is strong enough to withstand it, or for very long.

It's a 10 gauge action.

Side clips, long bar - 2 plusses in my book.

A mate has a 12 Gauge Greener 577 NfB - Light Nitro and gets
almost those ballistics with a 650gn and it holds up well.

He says it is proofed which is more than some are.
