Hello friends,

Many of you have asked me for advice on gun searches as it's a bit of a hobby for me to "see what is out there" each week. I discussed this with @AfricaHunting.com and he permitted me to create a running post on the Classifieds section.

The purpose of the posts will be to show what interesting guns of good quality and value may be popping up on the Internet each week. My personal guidelines of a "good gun" are as follows:

When I bought my first Siamese Mauser, it arrived without an extractor.
In my searching for an extractor I found this complete action for AU$200, how could I resist! I then managed to modify another extractor to fit the 416WSM, so I had a spare Siamese Mauser action - what to do?
