doc white designed guns and variations:

S-SERIES RIFLES: BASED ON AN IN-LINE ACTION ORIGINALLY DESIGNED BY DOC WHITE IN THE LATE 1960'S, AND DEVELOPED OVER THE NEXT FEW DECADES, SOLD IN 1991 AS THE SUPER-91, LATER AS THE SUPER-91-II, GRAND ALASKAN AND EVENTUALLY THE THUNDERBOLT.

Super -91's were made in two versions. The ‘early’ sported a Mauser type hinged trigger (up to about serial #600), a side swing safety and a spring clip hammer housing retention detent. The ‘later’ action (beginning at about serial #600) had a screwed on trigger, a pull and twist secondary safety as well as one on the trigger, and a screw-in detent to hold the hammer housing in place.

SUPER-91-II'S LACKED THE RIB THAT ORIGINALLY DECORATED THE SUPER-91, WITH DELRIN RAMROD FERRULES AND TRIGGER GUARD

THE GRAND ALASKAN WAS A HEAVY BARRELED , HEAVY 54 CALIBERED SUPER 91 WITH STEEL FERRULES AND TRIGGER GUARD

THE THUNDERBOLT SPORTED A BOLT ACTION, ACTUALLY THE ORIGINAL DESIGN THAT THE SUPER 91 DESCENDED FROM.

G-SERIES RIFLES- BASED ON A BASIC DESIGN BY DAVID GUMUCIO, REFINED BY DOC AND BROUGHT INTO PRODUCTION AS THE WHITETAIL, THEN LATER THE M97 WHITETAIL HUNTER, THE M97 LITE, AND THE BISON , WHICH WAS A HEAVY BARRELED WHITETAIL

SG-SERIES- THE 'SMALL-G' SERIES, REPRESENTED BY A LIMITED RUN OF RIFLES, USING THE SAME INTERNAL PARTS AND SIMILAR IN FUNCTION TO THE WHITETAIL BUT WITH ONE-PIECE ACTION/BARREL SMALLER IN DIAMETER AND LIGHTER IN WEIGHT.

BG SHOTGUNS- 'BIG-G' ACTIONS, SAME PARTS AND FUNCTION AS ALL THE OTHER G-SERIES ACTIONS BUT LARGE ENOUGH FOR A 12 GAUGE BARREL, REPRESENTED BY THE TOMINATOR AND WHITE THUNDER SHOTGUNS.

Whitetail rifles came with an ‘early’ stock made of either hardwood or black glass composite with or without checkering and with a 13.5 inch pull or a ‘later’ slimmer stock exclusively made of glass composite with checkering and a 14 inch pull. Refurbishd Whitetail rifles all come with NEW hardwood stocks with 14 inch pull.

SPORTING RIFLE by DOC

DOC- built White Sporting Rifle with blued metal and English red laminate stock. Sidelock percussion with Manton Breech and flat spring lock, with White barrel. Shoots all the White bullets just as well as the Super 91, Whitetail and others: the barrels are the same. Similar rifles are available on custom order from White Muzzleloading with fancy walnut stocks. Prices start at $1500. Email for price and availability.

The Manton breech design on the White Sporting Rifle is the best and strongest ever devised, modern or antique. It's massive, functional, ergonomic and super-strong but handsome, far better than any Hawken percussion breeching.

H&R CONVERSIONS- SLEEVED WITH WHITE BARRELS MEANT TO SHOOT WHITE DESIGNED BULLETS

Every bit as accurate and functional as Doc's other rifles, just not quite so elegant. Every one custom, choice of 451 or 504 calibers, recoil pad, barrel sizes and lengths, sights or ribs for scope or red dot.

#751 DOC'S NEWEST INVENTION. THE WHITE M95

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIMENTING WITH CONVERTING 1895 MAUSER ACTIONS TO MUZZLELOADERS, USING WHITE BARRELS AND A NEW BREECHPLUG WITH AN INTERNALLY HEAD-SPACED DESIGN TO REDUCE BLOW-BACK TO NOTHING. THE PRIMER IS A 45 AUTO CASE (USE WITH A MAGNUM PRIMER IF YOU WANT- YOU DON'T NEED IT), WHICH FITS THE BOLT FACE WITHOUT NEEDING MODIFICATION AND EXTRACTS NORMALLY. THE MAGAZINE HAS BEEN ALTERED TO FEED THE 45 AUTO PRIMERS INTO THE BREECH. WHAT YOU WILL SEE BELOW IS THE FIRST EXPERIMENTAL ONE .

THROW AWAY THAT OLD MILITARY STOCK AND PUT ON A CUSTOM WALNUT STOCK AND WHAT YOU GET IS SEEN BELOW, NOT FULLY INLETTED YET.

THIS IS A CHILEAN MAUSER 1895 ACTION, MADE IN GERMANY, WITH A 32 INCH 451 CALIBER BARREL, SHALLOW .O35 GROOVES WITH 1-20 TWIST, MEANT TO SHOOT WHITE POWER PUNCH BULLETS OR OTHER ELONGATED SLIP-FIT BULLETS FROM OTHER MAKERS. THE BARRELED ACTION STARTED IN A CUT DOWN- THROW AWAY ORIGINAL MILITARY STOCK WITH A RECOIL PAD TACKED ON TO LENGTHEN THE PULL. IT'S WAS UGLY AS HELL, BUT THE PRIMER WORKED LIKE A CHARM, IGNITES ANY POWDER YOU MIGHT WANT TO USE, INCLUDING SMOKELESS, FEEDS AND EXTRACTS POSITIVELY. THE 45 AUTO CASE IS IF COURSE RELOADABLE WITH A NEW PRIMER. I BOP THE SPENT PRIMER OUT WITH AN RCBS PRIMER PUNCH AND RELOAD A NEW PRIMER USING AN RCBS HAND HELD PRIMER TOOL. THE WHOLE OUTFIT COST ME LESS THAN $30. THE 45 AUTO CASE LOADS A BIT EASIER IF THE CASE MOUTH IS CRIMPED JUST A BIT, WHICH IS EASY TO DO IN AN ORDINARY LOADING DIE.

THE BARRELED ACTION NOW APPEARS IN A PISTOL GRIPPED MODERN LOOKING SPORTER STOCK WITH RECOIL PAD. I WILL LIKELY SHORTEN THE BARREL, BEND THE BOLT SO I CAN MOUNT A SCOPE, DRILL AND TAP SCOPE MOUNTS OR A SIDE MOUNTED PEEP, PUT ON A FRONT SIGHT AND RAMROD FERRULES AND BUILD A RAMROD WITH CLEANING JAG FOR IT AS WELL AS FIT A CUSTOM TRIGGER..

MY INTENT WAS TO DEVELOP A RIFLE WITH ABSOLUTELY NO BLOWBACK. I HAVE TRIED IT WITH EVERY POWDER IN THE CUPBOARD AND IT MEETS THAT GOAL PRECISELY. I HAVEN'T SHOT IT FOR GROUP, OBVIOUSLY, NO SIGHTS YET. ONE LAST NICETY, THE HEADSPACE ADJUSTS WITH THE BREECHPLUG IN THE BARREL. YOU CAN SCREW THE PLUG IN OR OUT A LITTLE BUT BEST IS TO ADJUST THE PLACEMENT OF THE INTERNAL PLUG THAT FITS UP AGAINST THE INSIDE REAR OF THE 45 AUTO CASE.

WATCH FOR MORE PHOTOS AS THE PROJECT DEVELOPS. THIS IS GOING TO TURN INTO A TRIP TO AFRICA JUST TO PROVE IT WORKS. I DID THAT WITH THE FIRST 336 PRIMER THUNDERBOLT RIFLE IN 2004, TOOK 9 ANIMALS IN 11 SHOTS AND DIDN'T NEED THE TWO EXTRA, THE GUIDE WAS JUST NERVOUS ABOUT MUZZLELOADERS ON THE FIRST KILL- A BIG KUDU. I USED 35 GRAINS OF 5744 SMOKELESS AND THE 45/40-350 SABOTED WHITE POWER STAR BULLET, AT 1700 FP. This rifle should do even better. Order yours today. all features are completely custom. POR

                                                                                                                   FOR SALE OR TRADE

#765- The White Bison was conceived a long time ago, in the 1990's, this Bison came out damaged, but instead of aborting it, we put on a new barrel 24 inch by Kelly in 504 caliber with 1-24 twist, grooves .035 deep . just as on the originals. As with all my guns, this one will get an accuracy job, which in this case means modifying the front recoil lug to a big square block, adding a rear recoil lug and another action screw, so there are two rather than just the one of the original Bison, then glass bedding both lugs and the rear of the barrel. The bore will be lapped to enhance accuracy as well. Sights and trigger will be as original, ramrod will have double brass ends threaded and tapped for accessories, a better rod than the Bison's original single ended rod. The stock is plain but tough Birch painted black, the trigger guard is anodized aluminum, both original features. The action is drilled and tapped for side mounted peep and for scope as well. All in all, a better rifle than the original Bison ever was. Price not yet established. Make me an offer. SOLD

#760- HERE YOU SEE THE BIRTH PANGS OF A DOC DESIGNED AND BUILT 'JAVELINA' 2 HAND PISTOL IN 504 CALIBER- sold

THIS BIG PISTOL IS REALLY A WHITETAIL ACTION AND BARREL CUT DOWN TO A 14 INCH BARREL IN A TWO HAND STOCK. IT IS DESIGNED TO BE USED WITH A SLING AROUND THE BODY, WHICH MAKES SHOOTING VERY STABLE. IT USES THE SAME LOADS ANY FULL SIZE WHITETAIL RIFLE WOULD USE. CLICK ON 'JAVELINA' TO THE LEFT TO SEE THE early FINISHED GUNS. this gun needs a coat of Dura-Coat then it will be ready to go.

753- DOC modified H&R Topper break-open single shot action sleeved with old stored but new White 451 caliber 24 inch barrel with 209 primer ignition. The barrel is the same as on the White Super-91 with shallow grooves and fast twist, meant to shoot the heavy White Power-Punch slip-fit bullets and the Power-Star Sabots as well as competing sabots. It will do better with saboted bullets weighing 240 grains or better and shoots best with 300+ grain bullets because of the fast 1-20 twist.. Haven't arrived at a price yet. Make me an offer.

Obviously the barrel is not finished yet. It will get bead blasted then Dura-Coated, The case colored receiver is in pretty good shape so I will leave it as is. Both stock and barrel will end up Dura-Coated black, to match the recoil pad that will get installed. Pull will be 14inches. Weight is a light 7 lbs which makes it an easy carry on a long hike.  It will even have a sling and a scope is easy to install at extra cost if wanted..

#763 WINCHESTER MODEL 1895 LEVER ACTION REBORED TO 25 KRAG A LONG TIME AGO, NOW NEEDS NEW WOOD AND A RECOIL PAD. HERE IT IS, JUST READY TO DELIVER. IT SPORTS THE ORIGINAL SIGHTS.

WATCH FOR MORE PHOTOS AS THE PROJECT DEVELOPS. PULL WILL BE 14 INCHES. THE WALNUT IS PLAIN BUT STRONG, IT SHOULD FINISH UP NICELY WITH MODERN EPOXY FINISH. THE STUFF IS WATERPROOF AND VERY STURDY. 25 KRAG IS A WILDCAT CALIBER, POPULAR IN THE OLD DAYS, LOADS AND SHOOTS ABOUT LIKE A 257 ROBERTS.

#601 Remington Rolling Block Black Powder action rebarreled to 50-110 by DOC, Barrel is by Douglas, never fired, round, 1 1/8th inch diameter and 30 inches long. Buttstock is maple by Treebone, the temporary fore-end is a chunk of plain walnut, it will eventually be replaced with matching maple. Pull is 14 inches. Weighs about 10 lbs. The bore is beautiful, never fired, and it should be an excellent shooter. It will eventually end up sporting a tang mounted ladder rear sight and globe front which are NOT included in the current price. FFL not needed. $700 as is, MORE LATER WHEN FINISHED WITH SIGHTS. OBO

#747- Observe the birth pangs of a newer concept in White Rifles. This is an H&R single shot action with the original barrel cut off and a White fast twist shallow groove .504 barrel sleeved in. The breech-plug is a DOC White designed 336 primer, which is really a 32 S&W primed case fitted to a White breechplug. The 32 S&W case is reloadable, of course, with either regular or magnum small pistol primers. This system produces almost complete obturation at the breech with no powder blast back into the action. SOLD

It will be finished black (see finished below) except the case hardening might be left showing. If I'm lucky, I will get to try it on a whitetail this fall, then it will be for sale. I tried it out with the new Blackhorn 209 powder, thinking that the regular primer might be too weak, but it proved to work just fine and was accurate with saboted bullets. I have not tried it yet with 209 and slip-fit bullets. It is apparent that if the primer works with BH209 then it will be capable of using all the other substitute powders as they light off even easier than BH209..

I have lengthened the pull to 14 and 1/4 inches by gluing and screwing a piece to the buttstock and adding a Ruger recoil pad. I have also modified the shape of the stock a bit for better fit and faster sight aquisition. the sights are an adjustable Williams rear and a red fiber optic front on a ramp. It weighs about 7 lbs.

The baked on black finish will get rid of all the uglies as seen above. Of course, the black tape will disappear and the ramrod will aquire a loading tip. the concept HAS workED out, SO I WILL BE doING a few more of them.

The old White PowerStar saboted 50/45-435 bullet (50 caliber sabot with 45 caliber hollow pointed bullet weighing 435 grains - shot well, was as accurate as I could hold it, loaded easily without cleaning between shots. I was quite impressed. I think I could take any deer out to 200 yards easily, as long as my old eyes can use a scope.

above is the finished gun. the high cheek rest is for the big red dot scope.

THIS RIFLE (FINISHED as above) WENT ON TO KILL this 175 b&c MULE DEER THIS FALL (2012) IN THE HANDS OF THE BUYER. hE SAYS THAT THE MULIE APPEARED AT 70 YARDS, WENT DOWN WITH THE SHOT, THEN A GIANT 200+ b&c BUCK STEPPED OUT OF THE BRUSH AT 50 YARDS. hE WAS SICK. hE WAS STILL SICK A WEEK LATER WHEN HE RELATED THE STORY. hE LET THE BIG ONE WALK AWAY. SAVED HIM FOR NEXT YEAR. I talkED him out of a photo of the deer, ABOVE.

#591 Doc built never fired Douglas barreled 338 Magnum on a highly modified Winchester-made Enfield P-17 action. The rear action bridge has been cut down and curved bolt handle added that will clear scope. The magazine has been straightened but left big enough for 4 cartridges. It has a fancy custom trigger and Warne scope mounts, plus barrel bands for sling and front sight. The recoil pad is a Decelerator. There's even a thumb cut-out on the left side of the action a' la Mauser. Pull is 14", weight is 9 lbs. I want $900 OBO for it but will listen to offers. I will also need an FFL from your dealer. Make sure he understands that I don't have one since I usually deal in only muzzleloaders.

The rear sight is a folder to get out of the way of a scope. Warne mounts are already in place, ready for your scope. Warne one inch rings to match the mounts are included in the package.

This rifle was a back up gun for my many bear hunts but never fired it or used it, not even once

Most Enfeild rear bridges are pretty ugly, you can see that his one is quite attractive. Thumb safety is still the same, very convenient and quicK.

The magazine has been straightened, but left deep enough to hold 4 cartridges. Trigger pull is adjustable, about 4 lbs. now. The action cocks on closing, actually faster on repeat shots than one that cocks on opening. This rifle is set up for dangerous game.

#586 Uberti built Berretta repro of the Colt Lightning pump action rifle in 45 Long Colt. Brand New, fired only enough to prove it, LNIB, Perfect. Sacrifice $1000- OBO (originally sold for near $1200) Don't hesitate to make an offer.
