So, i had bought a large ring Mauser at auction for $65.
Decided to strip down and do custom build. Cartridge 7X57 Mauser.
My plan was a blued & wood hunting rifle.
Dakota 3 position safety, Timney trigger, E.R.Shaw 22" number 1 contour barrel, Boyds Prarrie Hunter stock.
Things were going well. Ordered the safety, trigger.
That's when wife noticed boxes coming to the house....
To try to get out of the trouble i was seeing coming my way, i told her i was building my daughter a rifle. ( this is where i figured it would still stay at my house & i still get to shoot/hunt with it)
Well, she went and told my daughter i was building her a rifle.
Next thing i know my daughter is at the house, wanting to go over the build.
Showed her the stock on Boyds website that i was planning.
"WAIT!! , WHAT'S THAT??"
"That would be a Boyds AT-One stock, in walnut.
"NO!! Scroll down!"
AT-One in Royal Purple
"THAT'S THE ONE I WANT!!!"
So my wife being the dear she is, called and ordered it. "So i didn't have too."
Happy Fathers Day!!
