Old Fugly the .458 Lott is coming along nicely.
Just now I have been hogging out the tip of the barrel channel to insert a piece of picatinny rail
for flashlight mounting beneath barrel like Phil Shoemaker did on his Old Ugly .458 WinMag.
Old Fugly is short for: Old "Fouled-by-rechambering-to-458-Lott" Ugly.
The "before" picture of the only .458 Lott rifle I own:

[Linked Image]

NECG 3-pos safety, flashlight Picatinny, and Krylon&Rustoleum spray paint camo pending,
photographs to follow when the paint is dry and epoxy hardened.
The white flourescent tape used on barrel and scope for night sight will wait until the paint is aged a little.
I expect to be able to safely fire my .458 WM+ loads in this .458 Lott Like Jack Built.
It has original .458 WM throat length from breach to end of throat leade.
Same powder charge and same COL means same degree of powder compression in the .458 Lott as in the .458 WM+
of course !
