Roger Green has my action and barrel, and expects to have my 450-400 NItro Express 3 1/4" metal work done before he heads to Africa June 28th.

Dave Crossno got my wood, and expects to have it completed and ready to ship back in two weeks.

I might be shooting the rifle by end of August...

Is this the Rossi break open single shot project you were hinting about?

check out www.steveeraleproducts.com. There, that is better...

It is an exact replica of the 1871 Frank Wesson #1 Long Range action.

I'll have pictures up soon.

My wood came back this afternoon.

It looked pretty good. Then, I wiped a damp rag across the butt stock, and it just popped! Wow!

That is my plan. I got to bring the Gundermann too. We'll be shooting them if you have a place.

Interesting action, I've never seen one before. How'd you find this?

Looks loads of fun, nice project.

I used to own a William Evans double in 450-400 3/14. It was a great rifle. While suffering from an advanced case of utter stupidity I sold it! I sure wish I had it back. That is on classy cartridge!

RichardAustin,

On the ASSRA (American Single Shot Rifle Assn) website.

A guy was talking about building one.

www.steveearleproducts.com.

It is an exact 100% part interchangability action.
They are not cheap, about $1500 and a six month wait. Steve will take payments and slot you on the line with a small deposit. By time my name came up, I had it paid for.

He is now offering a Fraser as well.

I cannot imagine a better, more stylish action to build any rimmed cartridge on.

Just curious. Why the 400 3 1/4 instead of the 400 3 inch.
What bullet diameter is you barrel for, .408, .410, or .411.

Let me add that one of my most favorite rifles is a British double rifle in 450/400 3 1/4" Nitro Express Magnum.
My double uses .408 diameter bullets.

I really like the cartridge, something about that impossibly long skinny neck...
