I owed these pictures to some friends from AR, specially JOHAN and 1894. It is a 7mm MAUSE ESPAÑOL built on a Santa Barbara Action trying to capture the style of the classic English rifles from the beginning of the last century.

Montero

Montero,

Where did you find that front site? I would love something similar for a project I am working on but cannot source such a part.

Thanks,


Jason

It is Spanish walnut (junglans regia). It is not fancy but it has a beautiful tone and straight grain.

The front sight was filed by hand from a block of steel!
