year of manufacture is 2001, i bought it used several years ago and had the lop changed, brake added and stock repainted somewhere around 2014. Will added the brake and Bill painted it when they still worked at melvins shop.

Nice! I can't tell from the pix, but how was the lop added? Spacer? Easily removed? Break removable?

Melvin lengthened and shortened lop via pad thickness. The pads are glued and not screwed on. Hope that helps. Gary U

If I didn't already have an Ultra Light Arms Model 24 .30-06 would be seriously considering this--partly because mine is pretty much the same rifle, except for the threaded muzzle. Got mine in 1997, with a 24" #2 Douglas barrel, and it's take more big game than any of my other rifles in several parts of North America, Africa and New Zealand. After 1000+ rounds it still groups three shots with several loads into around 1/2" at 100 yards....

My first ULA I got from Melvin I ordered it in 300WSM.......I'd MUCH rather it was in 30-06. Someone is going to get a great gun here.

You're not incorrect. Melvin sold the company to Bill Wilson (Wilson Combat) a couple years ago. Bill's making a very good but somewhat different version of the NULA. The original Melvin rifles tend to go for a little more, even when used.

Sorry, John, that was my poor attempt at humor and why I think this rifle is well worth the asking price.

Can’t believe it’s still not spoken for! Nothing like a ULA- made by a master! If I did not have one I would be all over this- this is what they cost to build in 2021….

While I’m sure the Wilson Arms rifles are a fine mass production rifle, they’re clearly not the same as those Melvin built.
