I have a ULA Model 20 in 284 Melvin built for me in 1990 that I have drug all over North America. I'm pretty sure it came with a 2.75 inch magazine box because I always had to watch the cartridge length because of that. When I sent it in 4 or 5 years ago for a face lift I had Melvin put the 3 inch magazine box in the stock at that time.
When I bought the rifle I had Superior Ammunition load me up about 20 boxes of 284 140 grain Nosler Partitions of which I still have a couple left. All the cartridges are just a shade under 2.75" long for that reason. Had to shove that Partition quite a ways in the case on top of the 55 grains of IMR 4350 to keep it under 2.75". That is interesting. You got me curious, so I measured a 20 built in 1988 - 3.0” box. I will take them both... Oh wait, wrong place  Going to be some serious quick draw on nulas for a while!  just real glad I picked up the 7mm-08 earlier this year...really should do everything I want/need for the rest of my lifetime. Just need to figure out how to smooth out the action some

Was going to try and buy a used CLR or Forbes and send it to Melvin for any and all upgrades he do to it so I could have a functional piece of art from a master. Was also going to try and get the stock paint scheme I've always wanted that is pictured at NULA -> MENU -> RIFLES -> Model 20 Short.
When I called Melvin and he said he was sweeping and to call back some other time, it was apparent to me Bill Wilson saved an amazing rifle, designed by an amazing man and Bill deserves the sale.
A BWC NULA 18" .308 Win. should be coming off the line just in time for Santa to get his FFL and sneak it under me Christmas Tree.
Thank you to my FFL and Wilson Combat's Lamar for working everything out for me.

It was my understanding that Hugo Vivero owned Wilson barrels and Cooper firearms. What about Dan Cooper, who started Cooper Firearms in 1990!

I know we hate cooper and his rifles but I dont remember why…? " This year, Cooper has given $3,300 to the campaign of Democrat Barack Obama. That's on top of the $1,000 check he wrote to Obama's U.S. Senate campaign in 2004, after he was dazzled by Obama's speech at that year's Democratic National Convention.
Cooper is a player in one of the little-told dramas of the 2008 presidential campaign: how Obama has been able to out-raise Republican John McCain among swaths of the business community, outperforming previous Democratic presidential nominees in drawing business support.
Cooper changed sides, he said, "probably because of the war. And also because the Republican Party has moved so far right in recent years."
He also likes Obama's message about "the retooling of America, which involves the building of middle-class jobs and helping American small business be competitive with those overseas."https://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/politics/election2008/2008-10-27-prez-money_N.htm

Man glad I was able to pick up a ula model 28 300 win. Picked it up on the 25 of this month, looked on the nula website and found out the company had been sold to Wilson's. And now the model 24 and 28 are on temporary hold. I did talk to Melvin yesterday, and they are still doing almost all the other work for pre Wilson ula rifles ( barreling, painting, ect) but not building new ones anymore:( Every time I've talked to Melvin he's been great to deal with. Wish the best of luck to Wilson's on the great opportunity to continue building great rifles.

I didn't hear anyone predict how evil of a pos obama would turn out to be or how many acts of treason he'd commit. Also, I sure love my Cooper Custom Classics.

So did every other party line voting libtard. I just think most people prior to obama were ignorant of how maniacal democrats are.
