Urbanwolf,
You got a great looking MH, even if it is a Kyber copy. I am attaching part of a report I did on a copy I got from SOG. They got it back and I got my money back. You didn't get hurt on this buy. Normsutton took a Kyber copy and turned it into a rimfire. He did a great job. Its all good.

wow those internals are something else! the insides of this on show NO handmade marks at all.
the only markings i can find inside is some rust pitting etc and wear marks. just out of curiosity what were the ones from sog selling for?

I would put it on a rest load a .303 in it tie a string to the trigger and hide behind a tree and see if it fires lol. Looks pretty nice either way.

Get some Cerro-Safe, do a chamber cast long enough to get into the riflng. Then you'll know for a fact what caliber it is.

A guess is not a good standard of proof.

the barrel slugs out at .291 so i could see serious problems with putting a .303 (.312) round down it :lol:

Per Urbanwolf's question "wow those internals are something else! the insides of this on show NO handmade marks at all.

SOG sold those for $259 plus shipping. It was .303 and they offered them in 577/450 also. My educational cost was shipping both ways and a bit of aggravation at myself for being stupid. I now own five rifles from IMA.
One Snider (done except for fitting buttplate)

I am sure glad I stumbled on this thread. I was on the verge of ordering one of the SOG Martinis.

It irks me when you see a business trying to pass off something like this (no pun intended

).

i'm glad you saw it to. if they're like mine (i was pretty sure it was k.p. by the time i purchased it) it has a .303 (.312 bullet) chamber but only a .297 bore talk about a bomb waiting to happen! it's a great example of a kp though and i'm very happy with it. but it only cost me $75 so what can i say :lol:
