ackley stamped

[cedarsavage8]

I have an Interarms 7mm Rem Mag Mark X and on the barrel is stamped P O Ackley Inc S L C Ut and it is stamped just like that with the same spacing and the small t right next to the capital u. Anybody have any idea's on what the ackley stamping means. Gun ss# is A26833

P O Ackley is the gunsmith that developed the "Ackley Improved" line of chamberings. Just ggogled it and he worked with another company from salt lake and sold them the right to use his name

There never was an ackley improved 7mm mag. The Ackley named company made the barrel.

I'm told that in the early 70s, PO Ackley became involved in a project with a company called EMDEKO. They bought his barrel business and made rifles in Salt Lake City with his name on the barrel. EMDEKO used Interarms actions and straight grained walnut for the stock. From what I understand, they were pretty good hunting rifles, but didn't generally come with an improved chamber. Your gunsmith can make a chamber casting, but I'd bet that you've got a 7mm Rem Mag rifle from that project.

According to Mike Bellm Ackley, son-in-law he has Ackley barrel making equipment.

Here's a link with all Ackley Improved cartridges.I see no 7mm mag and didn't think there was one developed by Ackley?
I just had to do a bit of research to double check before posting my reply

I don't see the 7mm-08 ackley improved on this list?
