AtkinsonG33-40 custom bases for Talley rings
I enticed Jack Belk to make me a set of bases for Talley rings and do a lot of work on a G33-40 action that Im going to build myself a 7x57 fwt. on..I knew they would be nice but I had no idea just how good the would look, wow! I can't post pictures unfortunately but I would send pics to your email if your interested...He is a master metal smith, never ceases to amaze me.

lindy2I must have missed something. I thought Jack Belk was living out in the desert somewhere.

Jim KobeJack Belk is a crook. I would have said he was a shylock but didn't know how to spell it!

AtkinsonJack has done some great work for me, over the years, and treated me fairly, and lives about 50 miles from me..
Kobe, If your going to call a man a crook,at least have the balls to do it to his face..Its pretty chicken shit and Donald Trump like to play it safe a thousand miles away..
Don't forget I sent you two custom rifles to fix and after a number of months and no response from you I "politely" called and inquired about my guns. You said you choose whose guns to fix and when to fix them..I said send them back and when I got the the guns the checkering was ruined on one gun. At that point I was out a hundred dollars in shipping and 200 to have the stock repaired, your wrapping was a sorry mess and the guns rubbed together..I have never said a word to you about that until now, I just let it go and had the stock recheckered and bit the bullet..I won't call you a crook on the internet because that's our business not the whole world of the internet.
I don't appreciate you hijacking this thread with sour grapes BS..take your BS someplace else.

Jim KobePeople seem to forget how that crook scammed so many people about his supposed cataract surgery, remember that? I didn't say he wasn't talented, I said he was a crook.
You seem to be calling the kettle black now!

AtkinsonKobe,
I don't care and don't know about all that..All I know is you stuck your nose in where it doesn't belong..The thread is about the mounts he made for me..His problems with somebody is between him and that somebody..You just hi jacked a thread accusing him or for that matter anyone else is of no concern to me..You have his contact information, take it up with him not me or in anther thread that you instigated.
Your out of line, end of story.

AtkinsonMaybe so Jim, but that's between you and Jack, just like you got to me for about $500 on those guns I sent you, but that's between you and me,so just let it go. Its not my problem, get over it or take it up with Jack..Thats what I did with you, I just wrote it off and let it go.
This thread is about a damn nice set of bases on a rifle that Im going to stock for myself, end of story.

AtkinsonThanks Lindy..These bases are considerably lower than Talley and will make the g33-40 more iron sight friendly when the scope is off. I will use the Talley peep for irons, along with a barrel band swivel and NECG barrel band front Partridge with gold bar insert bead. It will be on the lines of a Rigby or Selous/bell type rifle in either 7x57 or 30-06, I have a hard time with the 30-06,its just so damn good when you try to compare!!!..
