I bought a Zestava barreled action in 7.62X39. I pulled the barrel and chambered it in 270X39AI,Basically a 270PPC. This was about 15yrs ago. It was a wonderful, accurate young person's deer rifle. I sold it and traded back for it 4 years ago. This time it has a #1 CM barrel by Shilen in 14twist. It was chambered in 220 Russian by Mike Bryant. I couldn't cut the metric threads on my lathe. James Anderson supplied the custom bottom metal. Karl Feldkamp did the G33/40 cut on the LH side of the receiver. Kerry Stottlemyer did the 3 pos safety, reworked the tang, made and installed the bolt handle, and made the scope bases and rings.

This time I will use one of the good, honest ACGG stockmakers and not the guy on this forum that made off with my custom 40X barreled action, wood, and money.
