The Lever Aficionados Thread

[tanqueray]

I’ve had Gunworks do this for me on a 7.62x39. Was in part forced on me when Baikal’s normally good (?) quality control let a rifle out of the factory with a grossly off-centre chamber.

Gunworks cleaned up the chamber nicely and converted the fiddly little extractor to one suitable (like a single shot baikal shotgun) which worked really well. Shot well as 303.

The baikal I had was one of the fancy ones with a walnut stock and nickel coated receiver. I also had Gunworks mount an old conetrol base with conetrol rings. It definitely had good ‘polished turd’ characteristics!

Even with a trigger job I never liked the trigger and I ended up selling it.

I intended replacing it and may still with a Ruger No1 in 303 - although I ended up buying one in 450/400 Nitro Express...
