Gibbs-Metford replica

Hello,
I'm aware of the rifles currently made in Italy but does anyone in the UK currently build a replica of the Gibbs-Metford ML rifle?

There is no commercial copy of a Gibbs-Metford match rifle available anywhere that I know of.
 
Metford rifled barrels can be procured, as most everything else, but will have to be commissioned which would make the rifle expensive.
 
Someone in Hertfordshire has built a superb copy of a Rigby match rifle, cased and with accessories. He can make more I believe, and he may be worth contacting to see if the rifle could be made but with Metford rifling.
 
Let me know if you want contact details.

David,
Thanks - as long as the rifle maker is open to enquiries I�d certainly welcome any contact details.
 
Regarding modern barrels with the Metford form of rifling I�ve been very satisfied (as regards both performance & price) with one I had from Ron Snover a few years ago. This particular barrel was fitted to a falling block rifle & performs well with patched bullets.
 
Regards

I have sent you a personal message via this forum with the email address for a possible source of a Gibbs-Metford repro.
