A Custom built 350 Rem Mag - Leonard Mews Mannlicher Stock

I recently purchased this rifle with my 2 brothers as a gift. A big "thank you" shout out to loud-n-boomer for offering such a nice Custom rifle. It appears the Douglas barrel and metal-work was done by PD Cain in Dec. 1966 as marked "Douglas Barrel by PD Cain 122966", but the stock / checkering was gone by Leonard Mews. I found Leonard's a very light stamp in the barrel channel - now enhanced with some dark stain. The seller's description tells all. A field test will follow next week.
as always, your comments are most welcome wave

Nice old 60s build; I like the 350 RM and have built several. I wonder why you didn't post more pictures though; is 19 all you had?

What additional pictures would you like to see?

I like it a lot! Now, just put some express sights on it and it will be perfect.

I agree - it would look better with express sights, but my 73 year old eyes like a scope. wave

That last part was an attempt at a joke. I have about a .5 success rate on them, here. Lots of guys on AR have no sense of humor.
