I like the scant stock but the felt recoil seems to be more pronounced. The finish is Minwax mahogony gel stain. Thanks

Update- Un-Bubba'd 1903

Here are the photos of the finished restoration. It's not perfect and not exactly to specs but I am pleased with the end results.

Un-Bubba'd 1903

Recently I bought a Bubba'd 1903 for $100. I figured it would make a good project gun. Well I got it home and figured out just how much was wrong with it. I decided to see if I could undo some of the damage that was done. I have included some before photos. In one of the pictures you can see bailing...

I build wildcats so I have to reload. I just finished a Mauser build. Take a look. I'll post a range report s...

Thanks niner, I am thinking of using a slip-on recoil pad when I shoot it. I don't mind recoil. I just bought a Ruger No.1 chambered for .458 Lott. Now thats recoil.

My first M95

I finally bought a M95. On veterans day I stopped in at Big5 and found this M95 on sale for $69.00. I looked at a few and picked this one because it was the only one marked "Budapest M95" on the receiver. From my research I found out it has Czech markings and was made in 1917. I bought 50r...
