Good news - it was picked up today 800 miles away from home by my friend.
Sad news- I will not see it for 2+ weeks.

My friend sent me some photos.

Looks like i see a NFPJ adapter in the bolt too. Just remember if its a Knight adapter it wont work with a Lehigh plug. Primer shelf is too thick on the original Knight NFPJ adapter.

They make really nice holes in soaked phone books.

GM54: Do you happen to have an owners manual for yours?
This owner did not.
Thanks

Yep, 120gr max load. If you look at Hodgdons load data 120gr is max for 54cals.

TB got one of the first 54-120s i ever saw. His review was spot on about the rifle although he neglected the 54x50 sabot loads mostly. Mine shoots great with the MMP/Barnes 54x50 sabots. Shoots great with the Harvester 54x45 sabots and a Barnes 458SOCOM bullet too. Man does that one load tight but its freakishly accurate.

Im pretty sure i do. I will need to check but im pretty sure i stashed it in the case.

You need pic/scans of it? I can do either.

Thats a bud right there......

 

[GM54-120]

Well it aint in the case but im sure i got it. I saw it not long ago while looking for other stuff.

When i find it i will try to scan it into a pdf file. I think my printer has that option. Ive just never used it that way yet. The forum software allows pdf attachments if im not mistaken.

If you have difficultly in scanning, PM me and I’ll be glad to do so and return it.
Thanks
