600JDJ,
My 600Nitro came as a barreled action. I have a nice piece of bastogne walnut to suit. It is with the gunmaker (he does metalwork, stockwork and engraving, all beautifully I might add) and we have a full-scale drawing. It is in the Gibbs Farquharson style, so is higher on the rear of the receiver-tang than the Jeffrey 600's. I will get some photos and post as soon as I can. He is about 4hrs from here and I need to visit soon, I travel OS a bit with work and seem to not have enough time (like all of us). I seem to have rekindled my interest in this, particulary with this forum and the beautiful rifles posted. That and people like Tom Turpins' articles! I saw a photo of a lovely Jeffrey 600 that Darwin Hensley stocked in a Guns magazine many years ago (I kept the article), I'd love to see more pictures of it. The Jeffrey's seem to make for a slimmer (not as high through the wrist) upper tang look IMHO.
I will have to get some dies, some brass from Bertrams, and of course Woodleigh bullets, and get ready for when we need to file the sights. I'm not sure of a load, I will probably sight for standard (1950fps?) loads.
Anyone have an (preferably) Australian source for 600Nitro dies? Also i need some 470 Capstick brass (another project!). I'm not sure if I can import brass from the USA without a permit, any ideas?
That 600 OK brass looks great. How far did that softpoint travel? Might be a good pig load! Who's side-swing safety did your gunmaker use?
Regards,
Chris
