Larry's Bradshaw Double
Hooks posting was in route from CAR to RSA. Arrived RSA Fri. Visited with him for a moment.
Some interesting stuff as he was up in the area where the poachers were up to no good on elephants. We I will hear from him after a bit of R n R no doubt.

4 Rules of Gun Safety
1/ Treat all guns as though they are loaded.
2/ Never point the muzzle at anything you do not want to shoot.
3/ Do not put your finger on trigger until your sights are on target and you are ready to shoot.
4/ Be sure of your target and safe background.

Larry,

Bailey had your rifle at our North Texas SCI Chapter expo and banquet this past weekend. Man, that rifle is a true work of art. I really like the Ivory accents. You'll have a real family treasure once you take delivery.

I took some pics but won't post them unless you and Bailey give the go ahead.

Thanks
You can post pictures anytime
Yes the ivory was a cool addition.
Since Bailey would not install the flashing lights or curb feelers.
The gun is to be off for case hardening in the next few days.
Bailey is also sending me the regulation target.
If I know Bailey they will be perfect.
I have not seen the gun since Jan at Dallas
He had engraving and stock work to complete.
Iam so glad you like the gun, as you know it is one of a kind. And I am very proud to own one of the very first of Baileys big bores.

What I find amazing is Bailey's multiple talents. Artist, craftsman and machinist. Maybe some day I can afford the field grade version Wink

Nice looking piece of work there.

Larry, you'll have to grow some hair on those legs before you start thinking about shorts. They look like an "After" picture for a NAIR commercial!!! :-)

Just an Update on my Bradshaw Falling Block Double
This is the regulation target 50 yards the cells are 1/4" Not bad.
[IMG:left] [/IMG]
The action is at Turnbull's having the case harden work done. Should be back in 2 weeks. Then Bailey needs to put the front site and just finish touch up work.
I should have it in about 3 weeks.

Bailey he dont own no Dremmel tool
Just a very good drill index set.
I guess THE END JUSTIFIES THE MEANS.
3/4 INCH and Dead even horizontal.
I would dare say not even those $200,000 doubles could match that performance out of the box.
Great work Bailey

Hook, you should get to name larry's rifle. It has enough of your DNA on it to be your kin.
20 April 2012, 09:18

I would like to know what you guy's are talking about
I think that gun is just a dream or a figment of your imagination.
There is no such gun
If anybody really sees it let me know

her name is rocksie because she's going to rock some critters world. that thing is an animal destruction device. the triggers are smoother than a babies butt. the balance is better than almost any rifle i have ever shot( almost because all Baileys rifles a balance perfectly) also naming her that because i have got my rocks off caressing her during the build rotflmo jumping jumping

Mike,
you have know idea how bad i wish i had my Bradshaw 450 /400 gun with me now. but i'm on the list Big Grin
I don't think i could get power to where i'm at to operate the disco ball and lazer lights that Larry wants on his gun. and the dam curb feelers would get hung in the wait a minute vines to much Big Grin

I am waiting to hear when the action will be delivered back to Bailey from Doug Turnbul
so he can make the final adjustments.
