The barrel I got several months ago from a friend as a rifle barrel someone had cut down. But the receiver was decent and had a matching bent bolt. The action I picked up a few years ago with a barrel that someone had drilled and tapped all the way into the bore. I’m honestly not sure I care, but I can buzz back the plate if necessary. The only downside is the wood has worn to the point that the buttplate is proud on one side. The handguard was destroyed, but replacing it isn’t an option, both because of color matching and scarcity. I love tiger striped stocks, especially ones that show wear. The stock was too beautiful to get rid of. The receiver was sent off and welded up to be used on a lightweight sporter build. Sadly, the gun had MASSIVE pitting issues everywhere. The stock, stock hardware, and rear sight came off an 1895 Chilean Short Rifle. This is actually an amalgamation of several rifles I’ve bought over the years. I’ve had a soft spot for putting military guns back to military dress lately, and after finishing the Tanker 03a3 the other day, this one called my name.
