Hello all,
I have seen and handled this rifle one month ago, when I visited the facility in Birmingham. Ken Hulbert was so kind to give me a facility tour. It is still in the white but they have just recently added side plates to the rifle because the owner would like to have more space for engraving. I do not like a drop look with side plates! For some reason the work on this rifle stoped for some time - at least a year. I got the feeling that the original buyer lost the interest and now somebody else jumped in.
Nevertheless this rifle is much too heavy to carry all day - and I doubt that any elefant will realise the difference between a regular .577 N.E. and this canon which weight 19#.
best regards
Robert
