Beautiful rifle. I like the way the cheek piece is blended with the stock above the grip. A bit unusual.

Very nice and rare skeletal metalwork with first rate stock. All a very pleasing rifle.

Has me thinking about a newly obtained 1954
M-70 in 270 WCF.

Nice work Jim!


On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

Life grows grim without senseless indulgence.

Beautiful work Jim! I love the wood that you got for the rifle from Cecil Fredi. Cecil's a good friend of mine and lives about 8 minutes from me. I'm always over when I can be, drooling over his 30K+ gunstock blanks stored rack by rack in his huge warehouse and drying containers. For me, I'm a happy kid in a candy store when I'm at Cecil's.

Congrats on a gorgeous rifle build.

How light can you build a wood stock pre-64? 6.5lbs would be amazing.

What Jim said....

Very inconsiderate way of co-opting a nice thread...

Just to look at an old POS that is not custom...

+1.

The poster should show some respect and delete that post.
