50 Alaskan

[Lee Martin]

Not a Ruger but I thought some of you would be interested in our latest project.

This rifle has been in the works for nearly 2 years so I'm glad to finally finish it. The article (linked below) shows the full build, provides history on Harold Johnson, and covers the Siamese Mauser. I also paid tribute to Johnson by recreating his "bear bullet".

That's really nice.

That is nice. I'll have to read the build notes - interesting that you retained the Mauser flag safety.

 

[Lee Martin]

Yep, I left the stock safety because I rarely use them

 

[Joe S.]

even made your own bullets... man, you are the master!

Now that's something! I just finished reading your full account of the build, including the history lesson that goes with it. Beautifully documented and superbly written. Even the tech stuff...which I freely admit is Greek to me...held my interest. Highest compliments on a fantastic job.

Thanks Jeff....the next time you and Mike are down you'll have to shoot it.

That is a very nice rifle! Never have shot the .50 Alaskan.

It may not be a Ruger, but I bet Mr. Ruger would have appreciated that rifle. Very nice work.

Nothing but the best workmanship and play by play.
