Sailormilan2 Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 I have just returned from an Odessey to CMP south. I picked up 1 RG Win, 1 RG SA, and 1 FG SA 6 Digit, and a Correct Grade HRA. MW/TE ranges from the 2s on the Win and 6 digit SA to 3+/4 1/2+ on the RG SA. The CG HRA comes out at slightly less than 2 on both ends. For the past 4 days or so, I have been working on the stocks. 2 stocks have WW2 cartouches, SA/GAW and SA/EMF, with ord wheels. One stock is an Overton replacement stock, no markings anywhere. I have finished the WW2 stocks in 1 coat of BLO to make the cartouches visible, as they are very faint. The Overton is finished in 3 coats(so far) of MinWay Wipe-on Poly. The Overton is the best looking one of the bunch, but they all have some nice grain. I need to apply a couple more coats of BLO to the stocks, and use a little steel wool. In a few days I will start the metal refinishing, and I will post pics when that is done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doble Troble Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 That's a nice haul of nice Mausers. If that's a GI stock on the bottom, its the nicest one I've every seen. I keep thinking that I should order one of the Greek Rack grades for "redoing" purposes before they run out of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
