This action is a winchester

I live in central IL. Im well over a grand into this with the gunsmithing and stock. I know it's not gonna touch that. My biggest mistake was not getting a quote on the gunsmithing before I started. I jad him do work on another 1917 and I felt he was reasonable. Guess I got a lesson...

I have a 1917 project Im giving up on. Make me an offer. Im In too deep on this project, time to cut bait And move to the next. I had a gunsmith install dayton trace trigger and cock on open. Works great I Had him drill and tap custom talley bases. He did not get the height exact and one...

For the money, I think it checks a lot of boxes for a classic safari rifle. I like it a lot more than the Tsavo. Especially the stock profile. If I didn't already own a Model 70 safari express I would consider this a top choice for a classic rifle at an affordable price. My safari express is...

Just ordered this stock and decided to go another way. Its a boyds. I cant return it because I opened up the trigger area to fit a dayton trace trigger. Im willing to make someone a good deal on the stock. See spec sheet. Make me an offer. Agility, Enfield P17 flat floor

I ordered a boyd stock this week. Ill post pics up when it gets in. Should be here soon. Im getting way too deep into this rifle. No turning back now. Next step is probably gonna be a 9.3 barrel
