Mr. Belk, Without asking for a direct quote, what would be the running approximate price for someman looking to have an action surface ground and returned in the white? Just a guestimate of what is industry average would be great. It simply amazes me with the transition that occurred with the One Eyed Jack that you built. Thanks. | ||

Bad or Jack- Would one of you be so kind as to post a picture of the "One Eyed Jack" to this thread or a link to an earlier thread with a picture if available. Thanks in advance. | |||

Mr. Belk: Can you also surface grind a rough Mexican Mauser for about the same price ? Also, how much to polish and true a CZ550 magnum action, remove the "billboard" markings, etc. ? [ 04-23-2003, 23:26: Message edited by: fla3006 ] | |||

quote:I can't comment on pricing, but Jack did exactly that to my action. He has an album of pictures of the work here As I recall, it didn't need any truing at all, but Jack did a lot of hand polishing. I'm sure he can comment in more detail. Best, Joe | |||

Nextjoe: Very nice, just what I want, including the M-70 safety, bolt handle, etc. Is that a Jim Wisner safety? | |||

quote:Yep, that's Jim Wisner's little beauty. I like it MUCH better than the factory safety and shroud. I bought it back when he was running Precise Metalsmithing. I don't know if he's going to keep making them now that he's taking over his parents' business, but I sure hope so! When those pictures were taken, Jack just bent the original bolt handle straight. He eventually replaced it with a Talley knob, which looks something like this: Best, Joe | |||

30 Cal Mag--- You ask for the One Eyed Jack pictures.... This was a typical 1909 Argentine that had been arsenal refinished with a blued receiver.....original DWMs weren't blued. The floorplate had been removed but Customstox donated a PME unfitted straddle plate with the action for my cataract surgery.......and I thank him!! This is it ready to ship to the Chic for a nice piece of crotch grain English. Many more pictures and some descriptions, etc. posted HERE and HERE The operation was a total sucess!! | ||
