tackleberry Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Here are some photos of three rifles I built this summer. One is built on a Husquevarna 98 action, rebarrelled into A&B .338-06 with a new trigger guard and magazine to give me a full 3.4 Inch magazine. That is a Boyd's JRS stock, that I finished. A&B barrel shortened to 22" and crowned. Timmney trigger with side safety. The other (green one) is a Yugo 24/48 with a Boyds stock that I camo painted with Krylon and Krylon webbing paint. Bolt handle forged by Jack Hamrick. Bold trigger with Dayton-Traister low swing safety in .257 Roberts. Adams and Bennet barrel, shortened to 22". Third is a Turk 93 action in 7mm x57 with A&B barrel. That is an old Fajen stock. Commercial shroud but using a standard striker to get necessary firing pin fall. Timmney Trigger with side safety. Stock finish is 8 coats of Minwax poly. I perefer true oil spray but until they can get their SHIITE together and made an aerosol that doesnt clog I'll use the minwax. I shot it in satin sheen.

MarkTX Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the 93 handle i bought on Fleabay before they got stupid, the others I had done by gunsmith named Jack Hamrick who advertises services on Ebay. He is very good and turnaround is under three weeks. They are forged handles and he completely polishes the bolt as well for about $50.00. Now I've been very busy getting these three to shoot properly, sighting them in and doing some fine tuning. The .338-06 is a real barnbuster and shot great right away (and kicks very hard!!) the 7mm shoot very well and the .257 does also. However it's been stringing groups so I've got a bedding problem or an ammo question. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montea6b Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Nice work! I like the green one, webbing paint? Sounds "Spider-manish"... P.S., welcome to the forum! I'm a USN bubba, I'll shoot you a PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanut Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Tackleberry, Welcome to the forum, looks like we're going to have to start taking muster around here, I'm retired USN myself, Corpsman. Nice work! That webbing came out great! Was that a first time result with that product, or did you have to experiment? Hugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh I heard about it in the H+R handi rifle forum over at Graybeards...its real easy to do, and pretty forgiving. IT's just a base coat of what ever color you want, then spray on the webbing in sort of a random way, either sparse or heavier...the more you spray the more the openings get filled. Then I top coat it with satin Poly. Check out these other photos... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
