Austin & Halleck 420
Just wondering if anyone is interested in one of these. I saw it at my local gun shop. Gorgeous walnut stock, 50 cal. Price tag on it is $275. Drop me a PM and I'll send you the dealer's number. If you want I'll even go over and take some pics and send them to you.

You sure it's walnut and not Maple? I've only seen the 420's with maple furniture from the factory. If it's fitted with walnut then that may be a custom or aftermarket stock. They sure were some pretty rifles. If you aint doing nothin, swing by and take some pics. and PM me the number. I might just be interested. I don't much like bolt action MLers because of my sausage fingers but that's a pretty dang good deal for an A&H if it's in really good condition. And I can always have a .209 BP made up for it and convert it for BH.

Will do Lynn. I would go tonight but the wife is out and she has the phone. I'll go over tomorrow after my appointment to get my stitches out of my foot. PM me your email or cell phone # so I can get them to you.
BTW - it may very likely be maple because it does have some stripling through the wood. I just saw one on an on-line auction that was up to $450 and climbing.

Problem is the hammer is the bolt is a plunger much like the Rem 700.
If Photobucket was working I would send you a picture of the hammer.
