broken grips

[B. Dudley]

I think an 0 frame is the smallest frame you woukd want to use for a double rifle on a parker frame. The spacing of the firing pins on the 00 frame makes for the bores being pretty close together. So your thinnest point in the breech walls would be inbetween the tubes. It may be ok from a realistic standpoint. But i woukd think a little more heaft in the breech is not a bad thing.

Also, the single bolting would concern many double rifle builders as well. Again, i do not think that it realistically would be a problem.

Pope & Young records with a 405??? Isn't P&Y archery?
Grip design would be a PG for several reasons such as strength and handling. I have never seen a double rifle in anything else.
Steve Barnett has a Ruger #1 listed in 405 Win intriguing but I have a #1 in 450/400 NE. I'm hoping to take it to Montana on a Bison hunt in the fall.
