510 whisper???

[Barsmash]

Hi ,
I want to build a .510 whisper. I have been looking around on the net and I have found there is only one place I can have this done. I have found that SSK is the only one making the gun out there right now. Is there any one else making a .510 whisper gun? Any help would be great.

What action are you looking to build it off of?

I have a p17 action that i would like to use. I have it that is the reason why. What would you say would be a good action?

The case has a rim diameter of .583 where it fits in to a bolt, as opposed to a .532 dia. on a standard magnum. You could rebate the bolt heads or open up the bolt face to accommodate the additional diameter..... or get a large Sako or Weatherby action. I've heard of Savage bolt heads being opened without too much issue, and it looks like the extractor will slip over the rim, but I havent tried it yet. I've also heard of the .510 being chambered on a Rem. long action.

I've had the reamer and a length of barrel for the better part of a year and havent had time to work on it. If you do a search there's some info about a man named Nick that can help get one done.

If you're building on an M1917, get a P-14 bolt for it....

Why a p14 bolt?

P14 bolt is for 303 brit a case with larger diameter rim so you don't have smith your existing bolt - heck with that line of thought - change the barrel lockup to use a nut like a savage 110 and you can make a swap barrel rifle out of it - change barrels and bolts to change calibers.
