How far along are you now, Tim?

I have purchased the reamer, gauges, and dies. I found a company that makes 10.75 brass from 375 H&H brass by trimming off the belt, then cutting a new extractor groove and rim. It's not ideal, but it works for now.

Coincidentally, 2 other guys that live near me are also building 10.75s! One is a former gunsmith. I've decided to stay on track with mine for this reason. Still no Horneber brass

Im now Busy Making an Acra-Glass bedding!

Soon it will ne up To Sanding and Finishing the stock! Thereafter it will be sighting in the Open sights!..

Hi Tim,

Very nice rifle, indeed!! And with the added bonus being made by yourself! Congrats!

That's going to be a beautiful rifle. One of my very close friends, recently passed, loved the 10.75x68. He had two of them. He often used them on feral hogs to great affect. I have a Gustave Genschow 98 Mauser in 10.75x57, the little brother to the x68 and 404. It's going with me this year on a moose/caribou/grizzly hunt.

Tim, that is one beautiful rifle. This project is one that you will probably remember for many years to come. Craftsmen with your talents cannot sit idle. Have you already figured out what your next project will be?

Then it needs to be photographed next to its first field success. That is a wondefull piece of walnut you have used for the stock.
