My K98 is getting close!

I've been working on my K98 Mauser alot lately, and it's coming along well. I cut off the stock and bondoed the holes from where me and Dad cut out the bolt disassembly and the hole for the old German sling. Then I kryloned it tan and green camo. Now all it needs is a safety, trigger, .220 Swift barrel, drilled and tapped for a scope, bases, and rings and it'll be done!! :D




The pround owner!

That wonderful Mauser claw extractor.


Thanks for looking!

My flintlock smoothbore is done!!

Wow, it's been to long since I blogged last! But I have my smoothbore done! I finished browning it and it looks great! It's a Fusil De Chasse .62 caliber, with a 44" Colrain octagon to round barrel, L&R lock, and a heck of a nice stick of walnut! It was assembled "in the white" by Tip Curtis of Tennessee.
Here are some pics.







Of course Nash had to shoot it too!



It patterns quite well at 25 yards with 60 grs. of #5 shot and 70 grs. of FFg. I'm going to try to get my turkey with it this year. We went yesterday, saw two and heard some gobbling, but they wouldn't cooperate.
