I put in an offer via PM but am not going to be upset at all if someone else with a better offer gets this, I have a pile of 1917/P14 actions, and I have no desire for the Boyds stock. This one appears to be a Winchester action, you can see the "W" on the front receiver ring. I prefer the...

PM sent

Another advantage of a quality double is the RELIABILITY of a follow up shot. Setting speed aside, the most reliable bolt action ever designed is still subject to operator error when shit hits the fan, not to mention the rare mechanical failure. A double with two triggers is essentially two...

Fincher's Corner could do it I am sure, question is how close to factory it would appear.

My understanding is for a few decades ammunition was hard to come by for traditional double cartridges, so manufacturers built more rifles in rimless chamberings typically associated with bolt guns. Since then, the ammunition availability has improved. These days doubles chambered in rimless...

That sucks ! Glad you have another stock for it. For sure should have been packaged better, that being said the grain structure appears to be not great through the wrist for a break to occur in that manner. I am sure it would have been fine for a low recoiling rifle. Are all the pieces there...

In July I flew from Seattle to Windhoek through Frankfurt both ways. Checked rifles and bags through, no handling in Germany. Darren with Travel Express handled reservations and permitting. He believed we would have to pay a fee for the weapons permits upon check-in, but that did not occur...

Two things come to mind to try, very lightly chamfer and polish edge of chamber mouth, and take a hard look at your extractor tension and geometry. I don't have any experience with these particular rifles, but have had experience with similar issues in straight wall firearms. From the pictures...

The feeler gauge in the bottom of the recoil lug mortise accomplished free floating the barrel, but the action really should be re-bedded in the stock now. The nice flat surface on the bottom of the action is now not in contact with stock and bedding, but floating above. I am not saying that...

H&H perhaps ? Or 375 Winchester ?

My guess would be a Jap Arisaka. I could be wrong, as I don't own one to compare. The Arisaka's have a rear recoil lug of sorts which this stock has.

A properly fitted M70 style safety should not be unduly difficult to engage to the safe position. They generally do require a bit more effort to go from fire to safe than from safe to fire because it is compressing the mainspring as was stated. The M70 style safety is not unique in withdrawing...

I use bedding epoxy to repair cracks, but have heard of using Gorilla Glue on dental floss on cracks. Gorilla Glue is moisture activated, so run a piece of wet floss through the crack first, then another piece of floss with gorilla glue, then clamp. This method was recommended by the Garand...

Here is my latest (5th)Whelen, just shot a moose with it last week. 1960 Remington 760, 270 barrel rebored to .35 Whelen by JES, barrel shortened to 19.75, teflon coated by Black Ice. Excellent rifle for wet Alaskan hunts. Been hunting with the .35 Whelen for 34 years now.

I won on Gunbroker this German double 16 gauge I am positive has at least some connection to JP Sauer and Sohn, likely built by them but unbranded. It was listed on Gunbroker as a "Spanish 16 gauge", I won the auction for $272.00. I knew it was a German shotgun of some sort. When I received it...
