z1r Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 Here's a pic of a CZ550 in 9.3x62 I reworked for a customer. I removed the ugly factory bolt handle and installed this nice halfmoon handle. Fitted NECG sights fore and aft, cleaned up the action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, It's a copy of an Oberdorf handle made by Halfmoon rifle shop. This thing will look sweet once it is stocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron J Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 That is nice, Mike. Which front sight is that? NEGC has a few. If you don't mind checking, how wide is the ramp? I don't like the real narrow ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTI Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 I really like that rifle. Been thinking of making up a mauser in 9.3x62. Very interesting caliber. That person should be proud of that,you do some super work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like the real narrow ones. It's their Universal. I think I have another lying around I'll try to meaure tomorrow for you. This one is already off to the stockmaker. Then off to Africa later this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That person should be proud of that,you do some super work. Thanks, I try. The 9.3x62 is a real sweetheart. I prefer them on a Mauser actions just because they are a bit lighter but also have one on a Tang Safety Ruger 77. That is a real rough and tumble kinda gun. The integrated scope bases are great, just add some QD rings and you have a real nice "just in case" rifle. I rechambered this little Husky M146 from 9.3x57 to 9.3x62 recently.

CTI Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Those are really nice. I like how the mauser looks. Once I get the 308 finished I think Im gonna start one in the 9.3x62 it would be a nice addition to the flock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsefly Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Top shelf work Mike!!! Do you sweat your sling swivel mount and rear sight on? Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donmarkey Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Looks good Mike. I'm starting to like those cz's. I've got a cz magnum here that needs some work. That's one of my latest projects, the first time I ever handled a 20lb rifle. Do you know anyone geared up to cut a drop box guard for one before I call Ted Blackburn?

Don Don, no I wrestled with this one myself. The customer wanted to have teh bottom metal redone because he hated teh shape of teh bow. However, the stock unit is too narrow to do anything with. My only option woukd have been to cut the bow/rear tang off and weld on a new unit. this would have required too much time so he opted out. However, I have some thoughts on the subject if you'd care to call me. It would take too long for me to type out, sorry. In retrospect I wish I'd have installed the rear sight blade for the pic but I didn;t want it loosening up. It would have needed to be removed for the rust bluing.
