GARY STILES MADE FOR JIM FENDER IN .450 ASSEGAI ON A MODEL 21 ACTION WITH ORIGINAL BARRELS, AMMO, CASES, BULLETS, SPARE PARTS, BOOKS, CASE AND DRAFT OF STORY OF THE BUILDING OF THIS RIFLE AND A BRIEF HISTORY OF GARY STILES. Cal. .450 Assegai 12 Ga., 2-3/4". S# 13709. Interesting magazine articles do not come easily, they often take years of development and considerable work, many never come to fruition, as is the case with the story of this rifle. Jim Fender is a fine gun writer noted for his contributions to the Double Gun Journal and other publications over the years. He is also the author of a historical Naval fiction series featuring the character Geoffrey Frost during the Revolutionary War. He is known for his in depth research and precise attention to detail. This rifle originated as a collaboration between Jim, Gary Stiles and Arthur Alphin of A-Square. Gary made a pair of double rifle barrels to be fitted to Jim's Model 21 Winchester, while preserving the original 12 Ga. barrels. The caliber was selected for use on dangerous game. As described in "ANY SHOT YOU WANT" the A-Square loading manual; the .450 Assegai was made to deliver a 500 grain 45 caliber bullet at the "magic" velocity of 2400 feet per second in a rimmed cartridge suitable for double rifles. The case was made by A-Square and designed for low pressures and easy extraction. A-Square used their .416 rimmed cartridge as a base. Gary used another set of Model 21 barrels as a mono bloc to assemble these barrels with quarter rib holding single standing leaf three green dot rear sight. Muzzle is fitted with Stiles design regulating block and gold bead in ramp base. These barrels measure 25" and are stamped with caliber and S# 13709.1 on flats. Barrel lump is reattached and splinter is reinforced. A sling eye is screwed to a spacing block. Barrels are not fitted with a bottom rib. Blued standard Model 21 Winchester action marked "SKEET" on floorplate has firing pins bushed to handle the increased pressures of the rifle cartridge. Gary also made new buttstock and beavertail forends using a very fine piece of smokey marbled European (probably French) walnut. Buttstock measures 15" over black leather covered pad. Well cut point pattern checkering is at grip. A steel grip cap is fitted. Matching beavertail forends have Model 21 style checkering. Original 12 Ga. barrels marked for skeet and skeet are fitted with unbraced beavertail forend. MEASUREMENTS: RIFLE BBLS: STOCK : DAH: approx. 2 3/4". DAC: approx. 1 7/8" CAST: neutral. LOP: 15".

Stiles The Most Talented Gunsmith I Have Ever Known" by James E. Fender outlining Gary's early life, his career and his affiliation with Jim. Article also relates that Jim used this rifle in South Africa in 2019 for cropping Cape buffalo and giraffe made necessary by prolonged drought. The rifle performed as expected. CONDITION: very fine as refurbished. Barrels still "in the white" as Gary died before they could be finish polished and blued. Shotgun barrels, action and stocks retain nearly all custom finishes as applied by Gary Stiles with only a very few handling and assembly marks. Bores are bright and shiny. Mechanically fine.

HAMMER EJECTOR GAME GUN WITH SCROLL ENGRAVING BY BRUNO GOLDANI. Cal. 12 Ga. 2-3/4". S# 121. This fine gun was made at the time when the now revered firm of A&S had resolved to produce some of the finest guns ever made. This example has 26-3/4" chopper lump barrels with swamped game rib. Maker's name is on top of left barrel and barrel flats are stamped with 1977 Italian nitro proofs. Part of the tradition with these early A&S guns is that the individual craftsman responsible for the building would have their first names stamped on the bottom of the rear lump. In this case they are Mario (Abbiatico), Remo (Salvinelli), Primo & Tony. The company came up with a very distinctive treatment of the fences for their hammer guns with large ovals at tops to house firing pins. This is sometimes jokingly referred to as "disco-volante" (flying saucer) fences. The top lever action with non-automatic safety is essentially a sidelock hammerless gun with extended tumbler ends to accommodate hammers so that in operation hammers, besides striking firing pins, are cocking indicators and levers. Action is engraved with 80% coverage nicely cut rose and scroll. Maker's name is on bottom. The signature of the well regarded Bruno Goldani ("GOLDANI") is on trigger plate. Action is also fitted with double triggers (front articulated). Single beaded trigger guard engraved with matching scroll, has S# on tang. Straight grip buttstock of lightly marbled and figured European walnut measures 14-1/2" over dark brown leather covered pad.

VERY RARE RUGER GOLD LABEL SIDE BY SIDE SHOTGUN.
Lot #2547 (Sale Order 555 of 777)
Cal. 12 Ga. 3" Mag. S# 460-01840. Bbls. (S# 00132) 28" with ejectors plus thin walled factory chokes of Mod. and Full. Mfg. 2005 (2004-2006) as model KSXS-1228 having single selective trigger and model number 04601. Rare because very few were made with pistol grip buttstocks; most were English style straight gripped buttstocks. Consignor purchased this from Robert Davis on Jan. 6, 2014. Davis was the supervisor of stocks at the Newport facility and had this made specifically for him with a "Turkish walnut" checkered stock that is simply spectacular in appearance; normal stock set was AAA American Walnut. LOP is 13 1/2" rather than the normal Ruger 14 1/4" LOP. Standard splinter forend with push button release at its tip. Red rubber pad is the type used on many Ruger centerfire rifles and Red Label shotguns; normally fitted with serrated black plastic buttplate having Ruger logo at center. Stock length is ideal for person of smaller stature or while shooting with thicker clothing. Tooling for the Gold Label was moved from Newport, NH to the Prescott, AZ facility in 2006 with the intention of continuing production (listed in 2008 catalogue); this failed to happen. Consignor states that manager in charge of the model stated that just under 1,000 were actually sold to the public with the balance being destroyed; serial numbers known up to 460-03361. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: original matching numbered white rectangular box with proper label and interior compartmental boxes for buttstock, barrels, etc. Spare chokes of IC (2) and MOD (1), manual, safety lock, factory choke wrench and consignor's purchase bill of sale from Ruger stock manager, Robert Davis. CONDITION: slight separation of red rubber and black base of pad at toe. Balance of shotgun has near excellent exterior appearance. Each barrel has 2 slight radial inward dents aligned with forend attachment lug that are only noticeable on the left barrel with close scrutiny; from about 2 o'clock position to 5 o'clock. Right barrel is slightly more noticeable at 7 to 10 o'clock positions. Both sets of dents likely occurred with attachment lug installation. A quick straight view misses these flaws as ones eye is drawn to the smooth brightness at mid bore. A fine classic double of very limited production. (24-5877/NW). MODERN. $2,500-3,500.

Cal. 12 Ga. 3". S# 460-1074. Bbls. 28" with solid machined rib having single brass bead; screw in choke tubes of IC and Mod. Mfg. 2004 (2004-2006) as Model KSXSS12 having stainless receiver and forend iron; balance blued. In May of 2006 manufacturing equipment moved from Newport plant to Prescott facility with no production since that date; 460-03361 was first number of 2006 with likely total of less than 3,500 units. True American classic double with English style straight gripped buttstock and splinter forend (push button release at tip). Fine cut checkering on AAA grade walnut stock set to include wraparound panel on forend with diamond island having gold Ruger emblem; grooved black plastic buttplate with Ruger logo. Some made with pistol grip buttstocks, but overwhelming majority were straight gripped. Rounded action without any visible screws or pins, auto ejectors, single trigger and combination thumb safety / barrel selector. Deemed by many to be the collectable classic double of the future as very few were made and unlikely that more will be produced due to manufacturing costs. CONDITION: all aspects near excellent including bores. (23-6435/NW). MODERN. $2,250-2,750.
