| I like Ed's work, it's the concept I have a problem with. Look at what had to be done to fit the safety. The safety lever almost hits the bolt handle and the back of the handle had to be notched to clear the shroud. Then there is the old stigma of a M96, fair or not, you can stick a small fortune in one of these and it won't have any value just because of what it is. If I wanted a small ring mauser I'd opt for a 1910 or 1936 Mexican, BRNO 21H, a G33/40 or that Peruvian that looks like a 33/40 without the lightening cut's. Others may feel different, but that's my opinion. Terry

Well, other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?

| It looks nice but just a question.
Why was the Blackburn trigger piece removed and replaced with an original Mauser.
The Blackburn has a nice profile and sits in the rear of the TG bow. ??

| I don't think that is Ed's concept. Rather, I think its Jim Wisner's concept. Ask Jim about it. |

 This pretty much sums it up.

I hear you load and clear. I just like the little rifles. I will keep mine military for shoots and start the search for a suitable high quality action. |
