That is one fine looking Karabiner. What is it? K-31? I've had a couple but sold them to help my oldest boy get through college. Now gotta get the baby through college... all 280lb.

This rifle has a Hubert concepts trigger a St. Marie barrel damper ans a boyds stock. If I do my thing correctly, this rifle will put out 3/4 MOA all day long.

Hopefully the photos of the Rigby Mannlicher will help with the stock profile Best Regards. KP Don't let the bastards grind you down!

Never had one of these yet but, I never say "never." What all have you done to it? DJ, any pix of the 303 Rigby? Interested in that one. The 1903 Turks are my favorite actions. I have just about got a 243 finished on one. I have a std 6.5x55 project in very early stages, and another that will be done in a 6x57 or 7x57. We are doing a 1903 in 8mm for one of my son's cousins. He wants the 8. It is based on a trad sporter. I had him sanding, steele wooling and working to fill the grain yesterday. Several hours worth. His brother is working on a 7x57 AI. out here. Several hours worth on that one also. When the 1903's became available I bought 5 or 6 and just kind of put them back. I did a couple of 8's right off the bat but, these barrels were pulled several years ago. I'll post some pix of the 7x57 on the 93 action soon. I have the stock roughed out. Can only do so much before I have to stop and come in. I can't work in the shop like I used to and it's fun to watch and help others. Got to keep the younger ones interested. Mike

The guy didn't want to spend the extra bucks on a straddle plate, but I layed one out using a pme plate anyway and the spring pocket is pefect. As you can see you'd have lots of room for any size straddle you want. FYI, you have to lay out the hinge a little longer because of the curve to the front of the mag box. -Don

The German are my favorites with the English running 2nd. Would be happy with either in orig condition. I did a stepped barrel sort of like the Rigby pictured. I could never find a rear site like I wanted though. The pre war stocks are works of art to me. I do plan on re-stocking several of my synthetic rifles into wood. The reason I have used the synthetic on some is because I like wood to much to bang it up. Where I hunt there are tons of rocks with a lot of little sharp ones. If you lay your rifle down it will get dings, cuts and scratches. Changing my mind though. Dings will just add character. Don, nice work. Very clean. What is the rifle that it is on? Mike

It's a customer's 45/70 he's having me put a new bolt handle on. Along with hinging the floorplate and installing a 3 position safety. The safety's been the real challange with the siamese firing pin being at 90deg to a standard mauser. I had to make a new pin to fit the gentry shroud. It should look nice when it's done, that's just a pattern stock the stockmaker is in the process of making. -Don

Fitting a 3-po to the Simy sounds good. What do you make the firing pins out. Only thing I have done is to shorten them. Again, nice job on the late. What kind of stock is going on it. I had a chance to buy a Siamese several years ago, But I was hunting everything with a muzzle loader at that time. I used one for two to three years just for the heck of it. Spent ten years shooting archery tournaments and just used the bow for deer hunting for about 5 years. Just because I could I guess. Still got deer and all was right with the world. Did use a rifle at times but, I usually had two deer by early October with the bow so only had one or two tags left and tried to stretch them out. I do wish I had the 45-70 now. DJ, wish I had left that barrel alone but, I ended up taking it down. I have since seen the sights that are available and would have been nice. Oh well, time for another.............M

As for the pin, I made one out of an intermediate 98 pin with the same technique I use to make geha pins. An intermediate is the same from the cams back, but the front is longer. I just cut off the end, cut a truing recess, made a new tip, welded it on, then contoured it. I set the protrusion the other night, all I have left is to polish it and then reharden it. -Don Last Edited By: donmarkey 10/01/08 7:28 PM. Edited 1 times.
