H&H Farquarson in .303

Look what a local gunsmith made out of an old farquarson action....splendid if you ask me..

He have maid some very nice rifles on mauser actions too..

That is a beautiful rifle.

Please tell us more about it.

Did the Norwegian gunsmith start with the action only and make and fit the stock?

What happened to the original stock?

Yes, he started with the action only....an old H&H lock..

I cannot say anything about the original stock..

He and a companion did put a lot of hours into it....it is for sale for about $17.000..

That is a magnificent rifle. If I had an extra $17 grand laying around I'd buy it and go hunting with it.
