Ray, very very cool.
'Not sure what your level of engagement is in the sport, but there's alot that goes into the soup of having a wildcat chambering. At one level, its quite simple and the true Ackleys are just a joy. This might also be a goldmine opportunity for you. The lesser mine being the knowledge you can gain from learning more about what goes into such a prize toy. The larger being priceless time w/ your Dad. Not unlike the old art with the str8, the number of guys that understood and used fine tools like that Remington are dwindling. You have the chance to learn alot and preserve knowledge that few now know about. As an example, though I'm not fluent on that specific chambering, the true Ackley simply fires the parent cartridge in the Ackley chamber and is instantly fireformed into the usable wildcat. No separate fireforming operations needed. That was the beauty of the true Ackley. There are many copies that lack this capability. Your Dad likely knows about this and can help you learn. You'll both enjoy the learning and the time. I hope you're able to capture some of that knowledge and add a wealth of memories of wonderful time w/ your Dad.
