JOHN BUHMILLER'S 416 RIGBY - BREVEX MAUSER - MY LATEST FIND


Hello All,

Lately I've developed an interest in Big Bore Dangerous Game Rifles, especially those built on Brevex Mauser actions.

Here is my latest addition - A 416 Rigby by J.R. Buhmiller. John Buhmiller may be a new name to some of you younger folks, but for those of you (and me) who are over the age of 60, well, we knew him as a man of no equal.

He was a Barrel Maker extraordinaire'.

I've been searching long and hard to find pictures of John with various rifles. Many of the photos I have found are from newspaper stories and are not very clear. I would ask that if any of you find photos that show John with a rifle, please drop me a note.

Any additional information you could share about John Buhmiller would also be appreciated. I intend to compile a web page with all the information I can find - so as to preserve this mans fading legacy.



I found a photo of John Buhmiller for you Buckstix!
Its in Big Bore Rifles by Jack Lott Page 72 - hope it helps your research
