Love the side lever conversion. Do you know who did it? I remember seeing it done in the past but cannot remember who was doing them.
Kind regards

The sidelever conversion was done by the late John Madole a super talented Kentucky metalsmith. It is chambered for the .30-40 Krag.
I stocked and finished the rifle for a client who traded it back to me. I have killed some 17 head of big game with the rifle and taken it to Namibia.
Thee kudu was lying where I killed him just before nightfall. The shot was about 125 yards. By the time we got up the hill it was dark and we couldn't find him until the next morning. As you can see he was tucked down in tall grass and dead branches. I had a difficult night wondering, but there he was the next morning. One shot dropped nearly in his tracks.
Th sidelever rifle is shown in pics in my book Custom Rifles in Black & White.

Such beautiful rifles!!
I got my first number 1 a couple of years ago. It’s a .257 Roberts and that was made in 1999. I absolutely love it! I have a Jard trigger for it but haven’t had it installed yet. It has been very accurate with the Interbonds that I have loaded for it.
