For some reason unknown to me, I picked one up off of gunbroker. I need it like I need an extra hole in my head but...

Anyways, any info on this rifle would be great. I got the jist on the history of the 1912's but what about the action itself.

I'm thinking of making a 358win or similiar for a black bear gun.

Thanks

Excellent actions. I used one to build a yote gun in 243.

Built a 7mmX57 scout on that action which is hot rodded just a little with no problems. roger

I have two, both in .308 Win. One is still in the military that I bought for the action that had been converted to 7.62 NATO using a two groove barrel and a block on the front of the magazine. the other is a full blown custom by the Harry Lawson Company in Tucson also a conversion tot he NATO round originally, but with a new very light weight barrel. The barreled action is in one of Lawson's thumbhole stocks and with scope, full magazine, and sling ready to hunt, the entire package weighs 5 pounds even.
Both actions are very smooth in operation. The one in GI form is slated to become a .358 Win. when I can drum up the funds.

Thanks guys,

I just dropped it off at my smith.

So far I told him to set it up with a 20" shilen (fluted), he makes some real nice integrated peep on the rear scope base. He has a banser hi-tech stock for it. I'm running with the nitrate finish.

Now I just need to get a trigger and a win style safety and of course the wait.

Should be a nice little 358.
