That stock is gorgeous! Nice looking rifle...really nice!
another rescue
This is the finished, still needs scope, 6.5x284 Winchester. The action is a 1945/46 over stamp Mexican short rifle Mauser made under contract in Mexico. These are interesting little actions incorporaing lots of differnt features for many sources.
The barrel is a Karl Gustav 6.5x55 military barrel rechambered. The military steps were milled off before I got the barrel so I had to draw file the flats. several hours worth of filing, very dull end mill bit. I hand polished and cold blued the barrel with Oxpho Blue paste. The case color is Steel Fx Flame chemical case color. I posted a step by step about a week ago when I did the hinged magazine/trigger guard. I am getting better with practice on that score.
The stock is another slab wood gift from Hurricane Hugo '91. Air dried Virginia walnut, with Australian red wood caps. I did a Pro 2000 glass full, two stage receiver tang/ fore end cap bed with a $1.00 bill barrel float. All I have left to do down in Texas is get it drilled and tapped for a 12X Litschert-Weaver scope. It will be ready to go deer hunting.
I still cannot get hang taking good photos. Please use the zoom, this wood is really pretty.
