Milsurp After Hours

I am restoring a sniper for a friend. Someone before him chopped the stock, threw away the scope block and put a 1903A3 Springfield barrel in it. In the picture you will see a block on the rifle, I forgot to take a picture before I sent it to Don Schlickman for the block.

This is the rifle that will be the donar for the stock and hardware and the barrel. It is a Nogoya series 6. The action and bolt of the sniper match.

Talk about turning a sow"s ear into a a silk purse!

I'm sure all of us would like to see how it looks as you make the transformation happen.

Like your disclaimer too.

The donar stock is now mortised to accept the T99 Scope Block. riceone

How did you do that.

First I marked the ends of the block. For a fine saw to cut the ends I used a fine tooth hacksaw blade. Then trimed out the wood with a 1/2" chisel. Making the final fitting using a small rasp and a file. The relief cut at the front end near the recoil bolt I did on my knee mill using a 1/2" cutter. riceone

IS THE BARREL WORTH HAVING? WHAT IS IT CHAMBERED FOR? I DID A SIMILIAR REBARREL WITH A 2 GROOVE IN 308. SHOT A LOT OF GROUNDHOGS. IF THE BARREL IS USABLE I MIGHT BE INTERESTED.
