Xausa,

I think it's a great looking rifle, including the wood. It looks very GH to me, in spite of what Paul Chapman says. Have you run it by Michael Petrov?

As to the chambering problems, I have an early G&H .404 SSB Mauser which also will not chamber modern Kynamco ammo or Norma PH, but will chamber original Kynoch loads as well as RWS solids. I mentioned it to Petrov and he was adamant that it should be left alone. I haven't altered it and don't intend to. I will use old ammo or handloads. Petrov also mentioned that he was aware of an early GH in .505 Gibbs that wouldn't chamber modern ammo (Norma PH).

Anyway - beautiful rifle and $5900 is a very good price. The action ought to be worth $4k.

Best of luck with it and enjoy.
