BSA 7x57 stock back from rechecker job

[sestoppelman]

And I must say I am very pleased with the result! Someone here made a suggestion for someone who might do this, but for the life of me I couldn't find the thread where it was!
So I started looking around and found a couple of places that would do it. Ahlmans Gun Shop in MN got the nod, quoted me $200 for the work and to me it was money well spent. They not only did a nice job on the re-checker but threw some sort of finish on afterwards, good enough that I don't feel compelled to strip and refinish as planned. It looks just right now as is.
Its a fine shooting rifle and now looks a whole better than it did as received. Here is before and after.

It has already proved itself on target. And unlike many so called Mausers, this one is true Mauser.

 

[Red Leg]

First class work. Glad you had it done.

 

[Witold Krzyżanowski]

Veery nice rifle. Congrats.

Came out nice, sure you're happy!

 

[gizmo]

Wow Very nice. I have a few rifles that I might send to them also.

They did a great job on that! A good hand checking job vs a laser cut checkering job is the difference between a really sweet rifle and a gun that becomes a beater.
