Mr. Petrov

I would be most appreciative if I could borrow your Linden drawings. I have a blueprint copier/scanner in my office. My email is ryan.frederick@walkerparking.com

Thanks very much.

Found a shot of an "Ultimate Enfield" by Burgess

As for Tom Burgess Enfield metalwork, an Echols stocked .416 is in my Custom Rifles book and I've seen another .340 Weatherby with an Echols stock and a .375(?) Burgess Enfield stocked by Fisher.
Tommy's metalwork was always inovative and it's difficult to even see an Enfield in the results.


I know Stephen, I was surprised also. Apparently I was wrong about the 1988 ACGG Raffle gun, I have been told the metal work was by Ted Blackburn. The photo I posted above was given to me by GSP7 of this forum and is one of Tom Burgess' 1917's.

Parker Ackley didn't do the best-finished custom rifles on the Enfield action, but he would do one in just about any caliber a customer wanted, at a price that ordinary shooters could afford. Always appreciated that. A guy I worked with in upstate New York had a Remington 1917 sporter in .228 Ackley that he adored, and I wanted. It shot, and we had fun making ammo for it.

Ackley also answered questions from the young and cash-strapped; I always appreciated that, too. (Couldn't spell but communicated perfectly! Anybody remember the joy/agony of waiting for a reply to a letter, those paper things?). I like that this generous spirit is also alive on this forum--we need to hang onto that as well as the tradition of craftsmanship and experimention that those old guys left us.

Some pictures D'Arcy Echols sent me of a Tom Burgess Enfield that D'Arcy stocked.
