The 6.5 X 55 is finished
I have been working on a rifle for my Granddaughter these past few months and finally got it together. It started out life as a 93 Spanish Mauser I picked up at a gunshow for $30 I polished it and had it heat treated. Used an Ed LaPour safety,Timmey trigger and GAG stock. Bill Soverns did the checkering for me. It has a 21 inch barrel and 13 1/2 lop.
Since my Granddaughter is just going on 5 I have some time to play with it before I have to give it up, hope to put some rounds through it after thanksgiving.

Fine job. It looks real handy to. Your Granddoughter will definatley treasure it. That was real good of you to build a rifle for her.

I think that's one of the nicest sporters built on a 93 Mauser that I've seen. Way to go Gramps.
