I just bought a rig in Spokane that is in 308 win with cl Lambert on the side of a custom tube. It's a c series remington 700 in a Mc millan a3 wearing a pre swfa ss10.
It's a nice collection of parts if nothing else.
Does that ring a bell for anyone?

I would not buy something that runs on any kind of primer given the possibility of primer shortages and even regulations. In fact, why not buy a flintlock? Really. Rocks aren't going away anytime soon.

Thanks for the clarification.
Can’t help on the name, but sounds like a nice rifle.

Slim Lambert was a gunsmith in Nome, Alaska for many years. I want to say he closed his shop down in the late 90's. He moved down south and I heard he has passed away. He worked on several of my rifles and did good work.

Just a question here? Does it shoot well? I expect an affirmative answer but I do wish to know? Be Well, Rustyzipper.

Slim was a very good friend of one of my very best friends. I never met the man but have heard plenty of tales. He used to fly to villages with a fur buyer and spread word that he’d buy old guns, come back next month and load them up. Had mountains of actions for projects from village guns with rotten bores. There was one about the two of them and another bud going on a fishing trip. My pard, who’s not a fisherman, caught and released a state record sized grayling and Slim smiled but didn’t mention it until later.

Holy cow, I'm glad I asked. I haven't shot it yet.
I usually buy actions to spin up my own rigs....but given the colorful life of Slim and the fact that it's a 308 and should last forever, I'll leave this one alone.
I would not buy something that runs on any kind of primer given the possibility of primer shortages and even regulations. In fact, why not buy a flintlock? Really. Rocks aren't going away anytime soon.

Nome was paved in 84. My dad ran the plant.

I have a "Lambert" Model Seven, Shilen barreled and chambered to 358 Winchester with brazed NECG sights on it. As promised, it's s certainly been much more accurate than necessary for the moose and bear it's dispatched.

Nome was paved in 84. My dad ran the plant. When in 84, because it wasn't paved when I was there in July of 84.
What if Jessie's girl is Stacy's mom, and her phone number is 867-5309

Actually, paving the streets was a gradual process. Nome wasn't paved in a day!! When I left in 2012, several streets were still gravel.
