^^^^Watched that movie last weekend..."I'd rather be around a woman who's dedicated to keeping a hundred men happy than around a woman dedicated to making one man miserable."--John Wayne
Hell yeah!!...:p
This tune is new to me. Found myself paying attention to it above the repeat noise on FM...
Well that's unique...The more I think about the scope the more I'm beginning to see a comb piece or highly customized stock will be necessary. Thinking if I force the issue I'm asking for ejection problems. Also will look into going old school with no front bell. I know a guy who could...
Two years ago a NC importer had a shitton of Zastva Mausers with double set triggers for 400 bucks. Alas, they seem gone from Guns International. Enjoy the tune^^^^
Yep, that's damn close to what I'm envisioning. I freaking love a dbl trigger as you know regardless of purpose...I hadn't even considered this option but probably won't as to maintain as much "integrity" as possible. I don't want to go with a faceted bolt. I want a possible elongated flat...
This is what's great about cold water. Notice the fin color? The boy & I have kept several 8-12lb fish as we couldn't get things unraveled quick enough before the fins turned red. Our fish fries on New Years Eve were totally pike--bleed gills, get in ice...I've drank many a beer from bloody...
And rebluing, removing the front sight and recessing the crown. And and mounting a probably fixed X Leupold with a German #1 reticle, bedding the action and floating. My vision is a beautiful, handy woods rifle. Might even get a pretty bolt knob...
If it turns out there's no historical significance with the bbl, I believe I'd do a 6.5 Swede. Probably nothing will happen other than a proper bolt handle job and a Boyd's walnut I'd finish with TruOil (after applying faux grain patterns to rival a Brit gun.
I'll post up pics when I can. By "knowing" mechanically I know the bolt handle must be cut off and the mag box/spring/feedplate(?) need replacing. It's virtually a single shot. Rounds are only accepted from a squirmy low left side "approach" and only accepting two. Once in place they feed...
Until around '83 Dad had sporterized 98 Mauser 8mm with a beautiful stock complete with an ebony fore end and actual ivory diamonds from a piano Grandma had sent to the burn pile....Anyways it sported a set of Williams peep sights as he told me the bolt couldn't be "bent enough" for a scope. It...
