J R Buhmiller information anyone?

[Cbrown3020]

I have a Mauser action custom rifle that according to Mitch Schultz was built bye Mr. Buhmiller. It’s chambered in 220 Swift. Does anyone know how I can confirm that he built this rifle and also how to come up with a fair price for the rifle and 10X Unertl scope?? Mitch was quite confident that he built the gun but would be nice to be able to have another way to confirm that he built it. I shot a few rounds with it very accurate. I would appreciate any information about him and his guns or where I could find anyone who has knowledge about him and his guns.

Thank you
Kevin

You might post some pictures over on the accuratereloader in the custom section.
I would guess with his name on the barrel, he did the barreling.

As far as I know, he built many custom guns for use in Africa, and wildcatted a few cartridges for heavy game back on the 50's.

Buhmiller was builder popular and made his own barrels. Back in that time frame, I suppose they didn't have the quality barrel steel as today, or the steel wasn't stress relieved. My Dad had a Springfield barreled by him, it shot fairly well but it was just shot out. I took the barrel off and at some point decided to use it for something and turned it down. It warped.
