Snagged this on Gunbroker, nice looking wood, believe its new, one nick on the barrel, wood is perfect. I found out much to my dismay when I got it home yesterday, that the front receiver hole for the front action screw had not been tapped clear thru! Had two threads!! Consequently you could not tighten the action to the stock.
So back to my FFL guy this morning, he having the right taps 1/4-28 to do the job.
He had that done while I was making my bladder happy!
It was a nightmare getting to his place due to the various July 4th activities and after getting thru all of that I thought I was home free! Ha!! Murphy was around....
I slowed down for some rough railroad tracks and was promptly rear ended by some young ( and gorgeous!) mom with child. She apologized profusely, we exchanged info, some cops were across the street doing something else so knew what happened. They paid us little mind, just asked if all were OK and if we needed anything. No kidding though, this gal looked like actress Naomi Watts, only better!
It would have been very easy for them to right her lovelyness a nice fat ticket for rear ending me, but they didnt. Guess they were also stunned by her looks, LOL.
Back home, got the rifle back together, wiped off years (1987 make) of dried oils and lubed things that were sticky with fresh oil/grease. Slapped my nice Leupy 3.5-10x40 Var X on it and its ready to go.
If my neck is OK in the morning I should make it to the range. I did feel a little stiffness (in my neck!) when I drove a way, but overnight it might get sore, we shall see.
