A "Brush Gun", "D" SN prefix/1980. Rescue of several decades ago; cheap! Sucker for straight grip stocks and those days, .375 Win ammo available! That heavy forend and barrel bobbed at 16"; horrible aesthetics! A light powdering of rust not even showing in pix! Bore is decent. But she's one homely critter.
Not for sale, but seeking ideas. Re-barrel & rechamber if any options?* Maybe just recontour existing forend & find a surplus stock band to fit??? Something 'Creative!', without shootin' the $ moon?
*My understanding whether Savage Or Mannlicher, "spool magazines" not tolerant of rechambering . True?
"Usual Suspect" pix below! Thanks for any ideas!
Best!
John
