Oberndorf Goodness… What to do, What to do

[BC Tal]

I’ve had this thing for Oberndorf mausers for some time now. I mean, if you don’t, something has to be wrong with you
I like the idea of both a collector or a project gun.
I have a 1924-25 type A in 30-06 that has been modified, but it was well done and I haven’t had the heart to do a full project build on it.
Then late last week I got a tip that an Oberndorf project action might be available. An exchange of emails and a phone call later and this beauty will be in the mail later this week.
A 1913 action in the white with matching serial numbers, floorplate lever, double set triggers and unmolested bolt and receiver tops. Happy days!
Now comes the fun of pouring over parts and custom rifles on the web for ideas.

Lots of possibilities. Looking forward to seeing updates along the way.

It screams 7x57!

100%

It is begging to be mated with a slender, precision made 7x57 chambered barrel and a beautifully figured walnut stock…

Oh, I know. I've been reading Jon Speed a couple times a day since I bought it.
