bubba what color is this park on the gun

tulsa gun show still going strong...looks like a big turnout...ammo in short supply dealers saying ARABIAN countrys buying all the 7.62x39 they can get....very little for sale ..even .223 was double in price.. looks like some people plan on shooting at each other for years ..

nice start DAN you are on your way now to real addiction..

this is an on going debate read this answer from the ATF ......next to last question http://www.surplusrifle.com/shooting2006/cnrfaq/index3.asp there"s a ezeboard site just for C and R questions http://p223.ezboard.com/fcurioandrelicfirearmsforumfrm23

been setting here reading some other sites and i keep seeing the same thing in all of them..i see the guys asking about building a mauser sporter and just getting blasted by some of the group..and no its not the FAMOUS other site..but sites that claim to be gunsmith sites..the advice is always to take it to a smith or please leave the vaulable war relic alone...most of these posters just want to learn what it takes to build a good usable rifle.....buying a used milsurp and working it over is a time proven place to start..i"m glad this site is up and running and good advice can be found here....and that this is at top of page Turning Junk into Things of Beauty so please lets give these new guys all the help we can...let them know they can ask those dumb questions that we all have had to ask at some point...

i looked it up and it shows OL of 3.29" with a 30/06 listed as 3.34" so i"d say its a go but some one else may have more insight on this We can have no '50-50' allegiance in this country. Either a man is an American and nothing else, or he is not an American at all.” ~Theodore Roosevelt

many ways to skin a cat as they say i have a 12 x 36 but i don"t put anything threw the headstock....i thread every thing between centers...so it can be done on a mini IF bed is long enough.... George Washington warned against false patriotism: "Guard against the impostures of pretended patriotism."

on the corelite stocks i drill small holes in the webbing to hold the bedding compound better....some people even thread wire through the holes..

MARKTX it"s a 1# weaver base mounted with 8-32 screws...just assemby the base and sidemount with the scope .... clamp it on ,move it around till the scopes is were its to your liking mark holes ,drill.tap....gun and mount is sprayed with duracoat matte black

stock is boyd ria....bolt is hand made by me....please do look at my work bench http://www.villagephotos.com/pubbrowse.asp?folder_id=1599379

yes its the 1# mount you will need to remove scope to use sights...yes it is centered http://www.villagephotos.com/pubbrowse.asp?folder_id=1599379

i"ve used the mount and like it heres a pic but its the wrong side of the gun.i"ll see if i have a better shot of it. http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-4/988983/MVC-006S.JPG

i have bought 5 boyds stocks and mostly there inletting is very loose..i ordered a dakota will in laminate. last oct. finally got it in jan. but inletting was great so i ordered a enfield stock for a .45 acp project i"m on..

this speed will really help...........thanks for all your work

one thing to watch is were you place your name ,,,it use to be last name first in one spot then first name first in the next place ...this will delay you app.. i know several guys who made this mistake..

slightly off topic but i really must say how pleased i have been with the reamer coop...it has more than payed back the 30/06 i sent in...mike does a great job getting them out... a 7 x 57 sound nice on one of these

wecome dave please drop by often and feel free to post .....i know a bloke in Mareeba,Queensland..is that far from you?
