Sorry nothing interesting to contribute myself guys.Just posted to ask as non technically minded customer if anyone is building these off shotgun actions for sale? Anywhere- UK, US, Australia etc.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Regards,
Karl.

Yes, same as Marrakai's 577 Light nitro on a Greener action,
2 x 577/12 Gauge Cape guns were built at the same time or close to on the same Greener Empire actions.

Ok thanks I think I remember messaging marrakai about his a few years back. Anyone remember who built them and whether full power nitro is ok too?

Full Nitro NOT OK - my perspective only but Marrakai USES A LIGHT NITRO LOAD.

I wouldn't put Full Nitro through them.

And a big heavy bullet at slow / average velocity flattens game - I've seen it in operaton.

2 X 577 bullets work wonders on Buffalo !!!

Rolf Bachnich (?sp?) in Melbourne made them. He's a recalcitrant German !!! Don't mention the war LOL.

Thanks 500nitro .I'll call Rolf.
After full power though so will see if any other actions he might suggest are more suitable.

Your biggest problem will /maybe getting a 577 barrel.

Rolf trades under Safari Arms if you didn't already know.

And a word of warning.

Give him your instructions IN WRITING, clearly specifying
everything in black and white, especially barrel length.

When he made one of them, he chopped it to 22 inches
when the person wanted 24 inches !!! When asked why,
....... you know where I am going.
