Hi!

I know this little thread is off topic, but I hope Is`t ok(forgivness?)!

I have just recieved a book called "The commercial MAUSER 98` sporting rifle" by Lester Womack!. The book is signed by Lester and it is marked "copy# 79!. The book dates back to 1980!.
Is there anybody who knows how many books that were made?. Any info will be greatly appreciated! thanks

Don't know how many books were printed but I have a very unusual rifle he customized. It's a 1903 Springfield military. The barrel has been cut to 16" and stock and handguard shortened to match. Bolt has been forged to a low bolt. Front sight ramp reinstalled with high patridge sight with gold insert. Lyman Alaskan in Griffin & Howe side mount. Mdl 70 type safety installed and compass in buttstock. I understand it was build for alaskan use while fishing and hiking. Built for a well known gunwriter I was told. Perfect cutdown and the gunsmithing is without any faults I can see. Very handy little rifle.
