Very nice looking and quite interesting.

I don't think you paid to much. On the rarity scale it's aan 8 with 10 being the rarist. Looks to be in great shape. Very nice and a beleive quite a deal.

I used Rem721's technique with the lapping compund. Seemed to work and pretty easy.

Interesting article. Thanks Nathan.

Beatiful babies.

Went to our place at Rocksprigs TX this weekend and got a pig with the Whelen I built with the help of ya'll. Isaw 3 small 8 pointers and a few spikes. Won't get out there till later this month as I'm going to Manitoba On the 18th With my Whelen. Let ya'll know how I do.

Nice jobs. I guess you were busy this summer. I'm working on my 2nd a 6mm AI on a 98/22 action and a heavy 26" Lilja barrel. It's on hold as I had to save all my pennys for a Canadian trip in a couple weeks . Did you do your own handles.

Ihad a P-64 and liked it but I got a good deal on a comercial Mak. Igot rid of the P-64 and kept the Mak. The Mak seemed easier to shoot and more accurate to me. Alittle bigger but holds 2 more rounds. This one was brandnew Bakail. Igot it for 160 and plan on keepping it in my truck. I If I ever get around to getting my concealed license.

pretty healthy looking deer . It looks like the bases are pretty thick too.

Here is a post on a very sucesssful load:

Awesome group. You got something there. I've got a M28 and reload for it but have been using 150s Sierras and Privi Parts .311s. That group makes me feel like fooling around with it more. Very nice rifle also.

I forgot to mention my other brother has 35ac. in Utopia. In Jan. We are going to frame his house. He plans on movng out there From San Antonio when it's finished. My wifes nephew is also very familiar with Utopia. His good friend runs the feed store or general store in town. Beautiful country.

Mike, is your lease in the hill coutry if so where abouts. My brothers and I have a place in Rocksprings and one of them has a little place in Leakey. The place in Leakey has Axis , Sika and Auodad. Went out last week to take appliances out to the little house he built and saw Sika buck and some Aoudad. Nice and green out there from all the rain we have had.

I built a 35Whelen with an A&B. Shoots good but fouls easily.

Very nice. Make sure to post pics when it's finished.

Here's some pics. All #s match except barrels and cleaning rod and they put #s on everything.

I looked at your post on the tigerstipe and that thing is really nice.

Neat project. Looks real good. How's its shoot. Nice job.

Az. ve ry nice so far. It'll look super when you get the stock finished. What you going to finish it with?

Kenak, thanks for contact info.

Any one used Shaw barrels? They seem tobe resonably priced.

what exactly is the magazine kit and where do you get them.

Thanks

I have a Turk I was thinking about and was wondering if the short cartridge would cause any feeding problems. I cycled a 22-250 cartrdge through it and it works if it's in the back of the mag. Is it doable or a bad idea? the reason being I saw a barrel on E-bay threaded for a turk. I f not I may save some money and go with 6mm but I'll probably have to get a blank and have a smith fit it.

As of right now I'm still working up loads and the 225 sierras touch the lands at approx. 3.350. With my mag. @3.310 I've been loading COL 3.300 which leaves me about.05 off the lands. On my other rifles I've found in the neighborhood of.01 or there abouts off the lands works best. It may not be the case with the Whelen but if they do work a little better closer to the lands I wanted to see how much trouble it would be to lengthen the mag.

Thanks fellas

I built a whelen and would like to lengthen the mag a little. Right now its about 3.31 and I would like to know how much longer I ca get and how to go about . Do I file and clean it up.

Thanks

Sonic,what specific parts were needed and how did you go about installing the base.

it looks like a solid setup.

Sonic, First off very nice looking rifle. I got a 44 all the metal is near perfect but the wood not that great. The open sights are a bit fuzzy and I'm not that crzzy about the cantalever mounts. How did you go about D&T for the mount? Where did you get the stock? It really looks good from what I can seee of it. Who did the bolt and if not you do you mind telling me who and how much. I only paid $50 for it but I started reloading for it and have grown to like it. As it is though with the sights set as low asit goes I'm still 6" high at 100yds. Again nice job.
