That is a beautiful rifle! Great work! "Archery enshrines the principles of human relationships. The Archer perfects his form within himself. If his form is perfect, yet when he releases he misses, there is no point in resenting those who have done better than him. The fault lies nowhere."(Confucious) | |||

Wow! Very nicely done. Excellent work Jim... congrats Butch!

Amazing work and a great caliber. I bet it looks at least twice as good in real life....I can just imagine caressing the wood..... "When the wind stops....start rowing. When the wind starts, get the sail up quick." | |||

You will have to check with Butch on the metalwork, I did the stock with a blank furnished by him. He should have it shortly. Jim Kobe 10841 Oxborough Ave So Bloomington MN 55437 952.884.6031 Professional member American Custom Gunmakers Guild | |||

I will get more photos when it arrives. I found the $100 Banner Mauser at the local gunshop. Tig welded the rear tang screw to make it blind. I made some scope bases that David Christman tig welded on. Ed Lapour safety, I think it is a Blackburn trigger, but could be a Timney. I used a Shilen barrel. I just touched the Cring and the face of the receiver with a carbide tool. The receiver was recased. Right or wrong I cut the tenon to be .001 longer to fit the Cring and also the front of the receiver. The bottom metal is Blackburn and the receiver screws are by Duane Wiebe. The rear sight, barrel band, and front ramp sight are NECG. Jim did what it took to make it feed and had to take a cut on the scope mounts to true them. The wood came from TC1 and is a Turkish blank that was part of the group of blanks that the Scholarship rifle's stock came from. Jim arranged for some real subtle checkering. He was a great help and put up with me through the build. I would highly recommend Jim. Butch | |||

Just got it today. It is much nicer than the photos. Mr. Kobe is a damn fine gunsmith. I hope the photos will show the very small amount of very fine engraving. I will have more photos in a couple days and will start a new thread. Butch Butch | |||

Butch, very nice. What is the barrel length? "The right to bear arms" insures your right to freedom, free speech, religion, your choice of doctors, etc. ....etc. ....etc.... -----------------------------------one trillion seconds = 31,709 years------------------- | |||
