I'm bringing a 7MM carbine back from the depths of despair. I need to get the stock refinished then it will be done. The bluing was bad on the barrel like it was carried over the shoulder African style and some idiot jeweled the bolt and the extractor then just to be stupid they actually cut the bolt knob in half and checkered it!!!. The finish is almost gone on the stock but the checkering remains in decent shape so hopefully that won't need attention. it won't be a "collector" gun but will make for a fine deer rifle. I have a mint original carbine and a std rifle but my custom 275 Rigby got a lot more field time in last year.
