We all know that custom shops with 100k in tooling can build long range, beautiful guns... My journey was inspired not so long ago and with the help of youtube and good ol Larry Potterfield this is what I have so far... (Disclaimer: I had help thread it, crown it, I dont own a lathe! I also had a gunsmith tipple check all my work before I sent the first round out of her...) It's a fun task when your teaching yourself and very rewarding the closer you get to being finished.
Started with a CG 1918 M96 Mauser 6.5x55
Krieger SS Target Bull approx 24" now
Richards Microfit stock was a clearance that no COD was paid. Barrel Channel was for a stock step down barrel. This was a big time consuming challenge to Fit!
Found a used safty on EBay just to try out, also the scope base was a sun optic rail which proved to be incorrect and later replaced with a redfield JR base, those rings are Warne and although they are of excellent quality I had to put them up for later use.
Using Tung Oil on the stock. Still applying coats to this Day.. I will get the polish right in a few more coats...
And here is how she shoots. Not quite fully broken in but fantastic IMO so far...
Thanks for looking. Show off more GARAGE builds here please!
