Ralph showed me some rough double actions when I went to visit his workshop, and I also have asked him numerous times to send me pictures of the completed PH double but I havnt received anything yet. I also didn't notice a "plain" double at his stand at the Huntex show, only the highly engraved stainless steel one. So, I have a feeling its still in development. That would be my main concern, especially if you are a PH buying this as a backup weapon...who knows you might be getting the first double out of his shop if you order one and I personally would want to wait to hear some customer reviews etc before laying down any cash, or relying on one for life and limb. Saying that If you are planning to head to Joburg anyway by all means stop in and speak to him face to face and see if he can actually put a rifle in your hands to have a look at, and explain his manufacturing methods.

Otherwise there is Sabi Arms in Nelspruit who can set you up with a Krieghoff, although Im not sure what they retail for.

Good luck and let us know if you find a good gun from Ralph or elsewhere.
