Re: 505 Gibbs

Yes definitely, I will do a full report with pics, will have to learn how to post photos, LOL

The gun is partially in the white at the moment and there are bits under construction. When I go up to the NT the gun will be in stage 1 and I will take some pics. Then I will finish t to how I want in stage two and take some more pics. I have learned a lot about the CZ550 and how to improve it and modify it for much better function. When its all finished I will do the same to the 416 Rigby I have, also a CZ550.

One thing I have also learned is that there are many tricks and mods that must be employed to make the CZ550 handle the 505 Gibbs properly and function correctly. It is nothing like any other cartridge out there. It would be interesting to see an original Gibbs built on a Mauser action and see how it operates and any tricks that they employed.

Matt.
