butchlambertJim Kobe's bolt handle welding-pics
I need to brag on Jim's bolt handle work. I think you will like it 22WRF!
This is on my Banner Mauser that I am sending next week for Jim to stock. It is a 9.3X62.
I think Jim did a great job.

jeffeossogood job, Jim!

Big EarlNice work guys! Is that a McFarlan knob?
Very very nice. I think that when somebody shows a bolt job they should also show the receiver as well. A big part of putting a new bolt handle on is making sure it fits exactly to the receiver.
Very nice work.

butchlambertWhat part do you want to see? Do you want me to assemble the bolt and then slip it in? Can I just slip the bolt in?

butchlambertOk,
I took a couple more pics. Don't jump on me for hiding the Mauser Banner.
I'm gonna put Jim on the spot. He said it will be ready in March 2010.

jeffeossohe wants to see the notch and whatever changes made to lay it in correctly .. though, looking from Jim's weldament, it was pretty minor fitting needed on the receiver
Nice action Butch. Great work by all!

butchlambertDo you want to see a photo of the notch in the receiver for the bolt?
I hope this is what you are asking.

If you are going to hide it I can't think of a classier way.

Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry

Looks good. On some of them you see a great big notch that is much larger than the bolt shank. Why I don't know.

butchlambertI'm sure when Jim gets it he will touch up my F U's and polish the rest. I have a little handwork to do on the Blackburn bottom metal and it will be in the mail next week. I think it will make a good Texas hog rifle. The wood is a blank that I bought from Bill Soverns a good while back. Jim will do a little metal work, rust blue, and the stock. I'm real excited about Jim's work.

Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo.

Thanks in advance.

Frank BellerI think that Jim Kobe takes a back seat to nobody when it comes to his 'smithing ...... I have two of his rifles, & a third one in the works, & they'll be passed on to my son & grandson.
