Hopefully I said enough in the subject to relay the topic and garner interest.
A friend came into an interesting 98 magnum action. It is a barreled action, probably from the 40's or 50's chambered in 300H&H. It has correct magnum bottom metal but it isn't a drop box.
The action has the front end from a seemingly military (there was a proof on it somewhere although I could be mistaken) and the rear end is a single square bridge. The bolt is spliced as well but it is difficult to find as there is roll engraved jewling.
The barrel is marked Verner Gipson who was a gunsmith to P.O. Ackley and I believe worked with Nieder.
I don't believe that the rifle was ever fired.
I don't know how common projects like this were but it seems very professionally done as the squarebridge is about perfect and was certainly machined for that purpose. I have never seen a roll engraved bolt so this couldn't have been a one-off.
Thoughts, comments, and anything else you can give me.
Pictures to follow.
Thanks,
Tom
