Wow! Great find. Here's one in the extremely rare to non-existent #4: (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links) and another in "appears to be a 360 Rook": (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links) These should make you feel really good about yours!

MH,
It's about time!  I've been waiting for you to post a few pictures of this.  Looks good from here too.  Let us know how it shoots.

Joe got it almost as soon as I got there. It was under table. Cases need trimming. Groove is .373 dis. Cases are 1.84 long.

I always wanted one of the mini Gibbs Farqs but they are just so few and far between.
Please give us a report when you get it shooting.

It is too bad someone can't remake those again as well as some more of the classics...... I am sure it would be pricey but would be worth it. Post some pics of the round also.

Maybe Ruger could make a mini #1 for pistol cartridges. That would appeal to the mass market and possibly get done.

It's been mentioned before, but steve earle products has a rook action shaping up. Possibly pricey, but his actions seem to offer quite a bit.

Bought a book on British Rook and Rabbit rifles. Got the hots for one bad. Then I got on line and priced them! I'll stick with my low wall. Considered stocking up a Thompson Center Contender in 38 special. No, I'll just stick to my Low Wall. But then again....
