Here is the Wife and I's 1891 Mauser were building up into something unique and wonderful :thumbsup: Click Thumb-Nail pictures to view large size Photos . Thanks for lookin !
It started as a well used but not abused Military Carbine for Argentina . It will become a Mannlicher Style Sporter that we love and so would Liberace' if he/she was still alive :lol: Just remember Liberace' always said too much of a good thing is WONDERFUL , and this Rifle will be said same when were done . Allot of this design and color scheme is the Wifes ideas too .
Here she is in stock configuration awaiting Inletting into a BOYDS RIA Walnut stock .
This is her Glass Bedded and MOCKED up with all parts installed to take a few photos for ya , and US to see it . This is ONE coat of Tung Oil .
Here is the Grip Cap in Fiddle-Back Maple as is the Forend Cap and Butt-Plate Spacer :thumbsup:
This fine German Rifle will be getting a Bright Nickel finish on action and barrel , floor plate and magazine , and the Front sight Hood/Ears will be staying Blued to match the Rear sight we installed . Rear sight is the Williams TK Foolproof Target Peep . Will match that with a Post FIRE SIGHT Fibre Optic in RED from Williams too .
Componants for build are as already mentioned , with the addition of the Pachmayr Decelerator installed in the pictures , a 1-1/4" Brownells Latigo Sling in Gloss Black with QD Swivels .
Will send action out soon to be Nickel Plated , then I hope to be done with the 30 or so hand rubbed coats of Tung Oil it will be getting by the time the Plate job is done and sent back .
Then to the RANGE ! :cornut: You either love the looks of this fine rifle or hate it , I understand it aint for everyone that's for sure , but we are loving it ! And that is what matters , right .
What a fine Rifle the Germans made .....Should make a fine Deer Buster , Elk , Bear , bad attituded Crack Heads , Gang-Bangers , and whatever else in North America and Abroad .
