A couple of projects are making slooooow progress:
A) M1896 Krag-Jrgensen, patterned after a G&H sporter I'm still kicking myself for letting get away. New 22" barrel, NOS M1898 bolt, NOS Lyman 48, G&H-style wood w/ ebony tip and Niedner-style plate/cap and pancake cheekpiece. All parts on hand, and fitting/finishing has begun. I devised a Unertl-style block for the front sight onto which either a globe target sight or hunting sight can be installed, depending on the use at the moment.
B) M1899H Savage takedown rifle, with three (possibly four) interchangeable barrels. New wood, tang sight, etc. Rust blued. Calibers: .22HP, .25/35 AI, .30/30. Another barrel is pleading to be included, and if so will be bored out to .35 and chambered for a .35-.303 Savage wildcat. The fly in that barrel's ointment is it is a barrel from a M1899 Short Rifle and hence bigger in diameter than the carbine barrels for the other three, which will necessitate a second fore arm, and which will necessitate a bigger fitted cherry wood case than what I have planned.
C) Yet another Mauser hiding in the shadows, which I picked up because I have an orphan G&H QD mount w/ Lyman Alakan scope that needs a home...
