New account here, but not new to guns, gun-smithing or gun making! I've been working on a few project rifles, and thought some of you might appreciate seeing the custom front sights and quarter ribs I've designed and manufactured! Both front sight bases use the Recknagel Universal front inserts, one having been styled off of the Griffin and Howe rifles, and the other reminiscent of the Rigby big game guns.

The G&H inspired front sight will be used on a lefty Model 70, in a calibre yet to be determined.

I just wanted to compliment your machinists hammer. Truly, you're an experienced journeyman. I'm impressed with your proficiency far beyond my own.

Thank you so much! If you're referring to the image with the quarter rib, that's actually the back end of a forged axe that a friend had made for me!

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.

Hello:
I’ll take the .375 Whitworth for $1,150 if the deal falls through.
Thanks .
