Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Express Rifles and Big Bores Only The great 458 Winchester. Everyone should own one at least once

Sir Smallfry,
I have not had Pac-Nor chamber one for me, but I have heard only good from others who do that.
My Gunsmith is about to get me looking for another, so if you do it, let us know how it turns out and I might be next.

Bottom Metal might depend on specifics of old Classic versus newer FN/SC M70, and what kind of stock you have or do you want other possibles ?

That would be Marcella.
I found a piece of steel and used a hacksaw and a bastard file and J-B WELD:









J-Bubba WELD is as good as solder, in my bubba opinion.
