tiggertateI'm pretty close to deciding to do a 338-303 or 375-303 for my slant box Rigby project. Gene, if you have a preference I'll buy the reamer and you pay Jeffe to chamber our barrels

tiggertateI thought you just paint the military stock with do-it-yourself bedliner and call it a "synthetic" stock.

invader66I thought that stuff had to be sprayed on. I didn't know I could just PAINT.

ShopCartRacingI don't know if I would do it on a MK4 just because I think the No1 MK3's look better, but I was toying around on the Big Bore forum awhile back about making one into a 405 Win.
The rounds do fit in the magazine, as well as the stripper clips.
If that sounds like way too much trouble, which it probably is, then I would also recommend a 25/303. Neat caliber.

Spraying is high technology not normally associated with bubbaism.

craigsterNo messy spray or brushes for me, I dip all mine and just let 'em drip dry.

Hog KillerI like the .405 Winchester idea.
This would be a global weapon.
English design, American cartridge, on an action from OZ.

fireball168I've got an article about doing a 45/90 on an Enfield...somewhere.
Does it ring a bell for anybody else?

jeffeossoFireball,
what action is that in your avatar?

rugeruserRebarrel it to 35/303 - great scrub gun!! The action's slick, 10 in the mag.
If it wasn't for our gun laws, which make importing here a PITA, I'd give you $US50 for it!!

Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo.
How about a .375 Nitro Express?

Its an original Winchester cartridge print for the .375 H&H.
I found a bunch of them dated 50's-60's from a guy who used to work at an Olin ammunition plant.
