Wow! I got a Douglas premium barreled mauser action from him about the same time - $58.50! - extra $3 for premium...sigh.

How much was yours?

BTW I think its McGowEn.

Wish I still had the long, handwritten letters I got from him back then!

Funny thing, I specified a 7/8" muzzle - waited 6 weeks and when it came seemed a bit muzzle heavy - measured .975", but I didn't care was so happy to get it stocked.

Harry did the metalwork on a Sako for me last fall. This little full stock 308 shoots into .4 with Lapua match ammo.

Yep I think that was the price.

"How much was yours?"

Mine was a 22 Varmiter as the 22-250 was yet to be a commercially available offering. It really was a tack driver. roger
