Did Acley build rifles....???
My friend asked me the other day if I was interesting in buying a rifle his father had bought for his brother that they were trying to sell. As far as I could tell at first, it appeared to be a sporterized Arisaka Mauser. Upon looking closer I seen the words P.O. Ackley on the barrel. He said it was a 257 Roberts so I just thought that it was a 257 Ack. but it is chambered for just standard "Bob". What gives? Did our good friend Mr. Ackley put the rifle together??? He only wants 250 for it. Should I pick it up for nostalgia sake?
