http://www.gunsinternational.c...43A-853165E97FD8F170 This gun is a bit different from Selby's. The front ring isn't milled out from 12 O'clock to three O'clock. Just a cut at 3 O'clock for, I assume, ejection. I will make a call to try and get some info. The modifications to my Wiebe 4MXJ bottom metal are almost complete. It will hold 4 416 Rigby rounds down, but will not quite close on the fourth. This is just like Selby's did. However Wiebe's unit seems deeper and narrower, so I won't be getting quite the look of Selby's gun. I wish that I had viewed the rife for sale at G.I. before I started this mess. | ||

This gun has a King Street address. Selby's gun has a Pall Mall address. Which rifle was made first? | |||

Why don't you shorten the box on the Wiebe unit so that you get the same depth as Selbys as you are not going to get 4 down anyway? Of course you may have to relocate the trigger-guard as well. I remember Selby's rifle's stock having a lot of drop, but not as much as the rifle on GI. That stock looks painful! I can't wait to see your rifle. Do you have any progress photos?

Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt. Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry Selby's flat bed truck delayed the safari, Horn of the Hunter would have read like an indictment of Selby. But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure. -Jason Brown | |||

No photo's yet. I can ask my gunmaker if he wants to. Matt FISH!!

Westley Richards is sending my Gunmaker some photo's of their rifle, including pics of the feed ramp etc. Very exciting!! Matt FISH!!

This is a very cool undertaking. As it all comes together I would love to hear more details and see pictures. Of course, get it stocked to fit you perfectly; it doesn't matter what anyone else says about the lines. They are not paying for it, and they do not have to shoot it. I am green with envy   | |||
