Thread: Walnut and blued steel,

Boy you got some nice stuff @HandH , the spare ZG stock has an unusual chequering pattern to grip , did you cut that ? Do your ZG rifles have cheek pieces ?

Neither of the ZG stocks have cheekpieces. Both have factory checkering, the spare one with black recoil pad was originally on rifle, Kevin Gaskill just brushed up the finish and ran over the checkering. The original stock is slightly slimmer in all proportions, especially the wrist. Kevin restocked the Sako L579 Forester 308 too.

It’s a very nice bit of wood on that spare stock for a Fifties Brno , never seen one with that little reverse finger of checkering where you thumb goes over , just when you think you know all variations something new shows up , very cool thanks for sharing

Nice.
Very nice

Awesome. Love the Allen Carr rifle - he does bloody nice work.

A couple more "Rescues" as it were , arrived within the last week with nothing done except I've had a a sissy pad put on the 1960's 30 06. It's gong to end up stripped and re stained with the pictured euro scope on
The 30 30 is 31 years old, an 'as' Model with the 336 receiver and barrel but the birch [I think] stock.
It's going to end up with the pictured close to period 23yr old Vari x 11 2-7 and nothing else done , I want it as it is. It has had almost no work, the loading gate has wear on the very tip only, I've had a bore scope down and it's immaculate.

Shoot here a few weeks ago had a nice haul.top to bottom PH safari 3006, large ring huski 9.3x57, small ring huski 9.3x62, obendorf mauser 9.3x62, the last 2 are the work of Alan Carr

wouldnt want to part wit that lovely small ring husky Mr henry

I saw this, can't afford any more guns for a while, and got it as fast as my fingers could pound the keyboard.

It is a Nagel & Menz, Hofbuchesenmaker to Kaiser and King Strasbourg U Baden drilling from 1887 and bears a royal crest.

It's 16ga and possibly 10.5X47R, and the bores are mirror. I think I can modify 45-70 brass to get the rifle shooting.

I'm especially fond of the 9,3s, and those three made my tongue hard.


This is my only 9,3X62 at present. It's a large ring Husqvarna commercial action with a Timney Sportsman trigger I tossed in. It shoots sub-MOA with anything it's fed, characteristic of the 9,3X62.

That bottom gun was a Baikal 45-70 DR I had. $omeone wanted it a lot more than I did. I can't seem to delete the photo.

Like like like, guns like that are sex on a stick. It probably cost less than a modern Holland and Holland or Purdy I'm guessing.

It was the price of a Benelli Ethos at Cabela's. No way I could afford it right now, but I couldn't afford not getting it. These are my heroin and meth. I get a definite high from squiggly engraving.
