Macnaughton 577-500 No.2 bpe Double Rifle
      19/10/18 12:28 PM

Hello all,

Can anyone help with information about a James Macnaughton Double Rifles?

I acquired this one and I'm trying to find some History. I've never owned a Macnaughton. Its serial number is 986 chambered in 577-500 No. 2 bpe caliber.

Below is the auction description. As you can see it was listed as a 450bpe, however, when it arrived I was surprised to find it wasn't a 450bpe. My 450bpe cartridges dropped deep into the chambers. Same thing happened when I tried 500bpe cartridges in the chambers. It was something much bigger. A chamber cast discovered it was actually a 577-500 No.2 bpe. Not sure if that makes this a better value, or a wash.

I'm hoping that some detail History can be found. I love History.

I was told that John Dickson had the Macnaughton records so I stayed up until 3:45am this morning (9:45am at the John Dickson office in Scotland) I just got off the phone from speaking with them. Unfortunately they told me that the majority of the Macnaughton Records were lost in a fire long ago. They said they only had one Field Record Volume with limited information. Upon their searching that Volume while I waited on the phone, they informed me that it did not contain my serial number.

So I guess that's the end of the line for finding any additional History about this rifle from them.

If there are any Macnaughton experts out there, please chime in.
