7mm ESPAÑOL (more pics)
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.

Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo.

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!
