So s this a non-drop floorplate- and you unload by cycling out the rounds- I have a M54 SuperGrade in .220 Swift my late father bought- sent to Winchester custom shop in 1940- rebuilt to the M70 bolt-safety-bolt release and trigger, a similar forged steel floorplate and trigger guard bow replaced the older sheet metal one -had a Stith scope when Dad gave it to me in 1980- 26" stainless barrel. Having a hinged drop floorplate is not really necessary on this varmint caliber- I only load one rd. at a time, so it could be a "BA single shot" I guess. But if I didn't have Dad's old "varmit vaporizer" I'd sure love to own this one you have shown us-that is one fine looking rifle indeed- form and function, and nothing on the rifle that doesn't belong there-RWTF

8-Bore- wonder what it "hammered" for- and if the purchaser knew it was one that Robert Owen made for Capt. Curtis? Nash B. somewhere mentioned Robert Owen as being involved with John Olin and the M21-rumor, or fact? RWTF

 In the squirrel woods, where it belongs. No camera, lights and action!

Run, Mr. Hughes may correct me, but the Fisher Swift looks like it may have been built on the sweet little FN #7 bench rest action and we don't jack shells through that action. We load them one at a time. I had a Gebby Varminter on that action, let it get away, but I know where it is. I think that action is a bit scarce outside of bench rest circles and I have never seen another other than the Varminter. It is one smooth working action although that's about all I know about it. Maybe SDH can fill us in. Bill Murphy

I thank Jerry Fisher everytime I use one of his excellent scrapers and sometimes wonder what stockmaking forces influenced the final design of these simple yet highly effective tools.

Yes, Bill, that is a FN single shot action with a solid bottom receiver.

Here are a couple of pictures of Jerry Fisher and I on our visit to his shop looking at that very 300 Mag. rifle Barry posted on the previous page,.....he said it was one of the finest blanks he ever put on a rifle!   CJ
