Dibbler, Thank for the info, I had found that triple-s was the first maker of the rifle, went belly up and some one had bought all the cast part and equipment to start making them again? That is all I could find. Bonner

There were two since that time who both claimed to have the rights to that action at the same time. One of them was having.a.33-47 Schuetzen rifle custom built to my specifications to take out and promote for him. The Smith had all of the improvements to the action done when the gentelman / proclaimed owner of the rights passed on. I did not have the personal funds on hand to see the project to completion unfortunately but at that point in time it would not have served any future useful purpose other than having another rifle for myself to shoot.

Thank you for the info, I think the best thing for me to do is let this one pass. If anyone is looking for a wickliffe 76 go to belcher auction on 11-21-17 lot 83. And good luck. Bonner

Always thought they looked kind of homely like a Spencer carbine.

Tom Ondrus was the proclaimed owner who was having the rifle built for me and his gun smith doing the work was Jack Huntington in N.Ca.
