Remington 788 Restoration

I like old guns. They really don't make 'em like they used to.

Jasssis... was in a bit of a toestand in the first pictures but you did really well on this EBF, looks good. :)

what are your thaughts on the old corncob bolt rifles? I like the history behind them and believe they are quite accurate, but think that people love to talk them up because they are the underdogs to the brother rifle the Model 700?
curious, Iv allways wanted to buy one just to have a look at it. are they a lighter action than the 700?

Beautiful EBF..... awesome mate!

'I think' the trigger guard and mag floor plate are alloy therefore better to paint rather than blue anywho.
