Honoring the gun/shootin/hunting, etc., pioneers ...

My attempt to honor them (chamberings), and hopefully more to follow in the future ...

.257 WBTY - Roy Weatherby

.270 AI - Jack O'Connor and Parker Otto Ackley

.30 Gibbs - Rocky Gibbs

.30 LARA - Roy Weatherby, Layne Simpson, and Kenny Jarrett


NOTE: The above are "my" custom, semi-custom, and modified rifle builds as influenced by pioneers noted next to the chamberings.

John A. Nosler- Founder of Nosler Inc. And a genuine, kind, brilliant person.

True, but all "I" are bullets and manuals, no firearms or any of the chamberings .......................................... yet.

Nosler Rifle. Big John A might have some firearm patents. I know Bob did, or does.

John M. Browning

No other gun designer has been credited with so many revolutionary firearms designs. John had over 100 firearm patents back in his day.

Perhaps but what I listed are chamberings I have to honor the pioneers associated with them; my intent was not about the firearms manufacturers as I too have various brands; otherwise, I would have named them as such. As you can see, there is no manufacturer name to it.

Elmer Keith 357 and 44 Magnum.

John Lazzeroni.

John and Roy are basically the only two that created their own cartridges and didn't just modify something that was already done.

LOL! Brother, you are still missing my point. The above are customs, semi-customs, and modified, are build as influenced by the pioneers noted. Yes, I have a .44 Mag.

Apparently so. Keith pioneered the development of the 357 44 Mag. In any case have a good day.
