Great to see another turned into a proper sporting rifle. In a manner of speaking, its what they all should aspire to be. That one is most fortunate to have found you!

It is a very trim and light action. It was carried by the elite german mountain troops in WWII. I could be a little off on my history but I think thats the gist of it. The stock is bedded metal to wood. There is stock finish in the inletting but thats all. The barrel is a 23" lothar walther. This one is next..........
