That gun's been on there for a LOOOOONG time, probably close to a year. In fact that site has had very little change in that time. They used to have a physical address listed but I don't see it now. I do know they're in NC somewhere so they're not more than about 6 hours from me at the most. If I get time between now and Feb. I want to try to make a trip up there and check them out in person.

The pics of the 577 gun they have listed are coming straight from Lewis Drake's website. This is also true for their 416 Rigby BA. I am not sure that this is a legit operation.

That pic and listing is eons old...I called on it last year (1/05) and it was long gone...ended up ordering a new 470 PH in June of '05 which I took delivery June of this year.

That was my first impression as well - that it was Lewis Drakes new site but when I checked it wasn't.

I then noticed that the photos were from or very similar to Lewis Drakes web site.

I thought it a bit sus ?

I would venture to say that these pictures are there to attract people on the site. Not only are the pics identical, the text is the same. It sure looks border- line to me.

I didn't even look at the text, after doing a "double take"
and realising it wasn't Lewis Drakes site, I lost interest
as like you, I thought it was sus.

The owner of the site does post here occasionally. She did explain that she has an arrangement of some sort with Drake's. If you do a search you would find a long thread from about a year ago.
