Mystery is now completely solved , it is definitely a 35 Ackley magnum 40 deg ,the larger of the two that Ackley made .
So the only other thing that can get me excited now apart from shooting it , is that any normal gunsmith would stamp "35 Ackley mag" or something similar on the barrel so which gunsmith would stamp simply 35 mag ? .....
Maybe the original gunsmith that wouldn't name a cartridge after himself ?
I don't know but if anyone else has ever seen an original Ackley made by the man himself please let me know how he stamped his barrels .
