Who makes Rigby style 416 Rigby drop box mag and follower for Standard lenght 98 actions? Needs to hold three down with one up the spout.
Thanks for any info.
Matt

I have one for my M70 375 H&H that I am building. I am impressed with the quality. I think Blackburn Machine has one that is closer to a true Rigby style, but from what I have read on these forums, they are quite difficult to deal with.

You might try Duane Wiebe either on the forum or:

http://www.soundmetalproducts.com/Product___Pricing.html.

He's got a .404 Jeff 4-rounder listed and is asking for imput on others.

BTW - Who did you find to open a '98 for the Rigby, if I may ask?

Just tried 416 Rigby in our mock up...fits! Our guard design is very close to Rigby style. Manfacturing has started this last Monday...figure a month!

Converting a 98 to 416 Rigby has been done many times, though I have not ever received an order to do so...If I remember right, "Big Bore Rifles" by Jack Lott shows examples

That's an awesome set up for bottom metal; I'm waiting for a Winchester unit for a 9.3x62 pre-64 build...

The 9.3 x 62 will fit nicely in standard configurarion...though rails will probably need work for smooth feed...as I've mentioned before, smooth feeding is a jazz band "in tune".

The follower must be just right, the follower spring has to be just the right tension...the extractor must be exactly the right tension and configuration....the ejector has to be in time and lastly the rails must guide the rounds so all the other components work in harmony.

There's just no easy answer to the question I've seen dozens of times "How do I make thie feed"???

Sounds like just what I'm looking for. Will the price be a little over $400.00?
Thanks,

I have not been able to connect to the web sight listed above.
Is this a venture of yours? Can you give me a little information on company and contact information. You can reply here, PM or e-mail, bgw(at)wildblue.net

Thank you very much but I get the same response.

Internet Explorer cannot display this webpage.

James

James, I think the problem is that the bottommetal.com website redirects you to www.soundmetalproducts.com and your security settings might not like that. Go directly to www.soundmetalproducts.com and you shouldn't have any problems.

Forrest

Thanks for the reply.
I get the same response, I E cannot display. I thought it might be my security settings so I got my laptop and got the same results.
Maybe IE knows I have done spent too much lately.
PS - SunneyHill now has bottom metal for the 1910 Mexicans in stock. They look good but you will have to use an aftermarket trigger in them.
Thanks again.

James

We had our website manager look into problems of access Sure enough...everybody pleads "not guilty" We now have two identical websites...www. bottommetal.com and www.soundmetalproducts.com. Still,,,some folks can't access either...make sure of "spaces between words (none)...If all else fails, call me at 253 535 0066 or 253 230 5599 or email cgrs@earthlink.net.....live with the mystery, I guess!

Duane

Thanks for the reply.
Where the problem lies, I do not know but I cannot connect to either address.

I will drop you an e-mail later and you can reply as time allows.
