Hey guys, I am slowly (as to savor) going through the SDH book on custom rifles in black and white. I got to the Maurice Ottmar one this morning with a trap door sling swivel. Anybody got more information and pics of these? Curious as to how often they are used, who has made them etc. I thought it was real neat, a different touch than the grip cap trap. Thanks all.

btt, anybody? was going through the book again and looked on page 51, very cool looking little bit, only time I've ever seen it.

SDH's book is a real treat isn't it? The Ottmar trap swivel is a gem and I notice it each time I look at that rifle. My guess would be that it is a custom piece as I have never seen another. You might give Mr. Huges a call as he might know. Chic Worthing might also know as he was friends with Maurice Ottmar.

Maybe PM him or drop him an email? Jim Wisner may also know. Jason "You're not hard-core, unless you live hard-core." _______________________ Hunting in Africa is an adventure.
