Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Higgins Model 51 Refurb... Need some help.

I rehabbed a Higgins a few years ago. The metal was rust peppered and the stock was cracked. The rifle had no sentimental value and I didn't care for the stock with or without a cracked in it so it was replaced.

I replaced the trigger with a Timney Sportsman. The mounts were replaced with Talley L/W's. Cerakote was used to refinish and was dropped in a McMillan stock. I didn't replace the safety as I'm a big fan of the FN safety. I thought about cutting a few inches off the barrel but decided against it.

All in all I'm very happy with the results. If I bubba'd it, well, so be it.





McMillan has recently come out with a new Sako compact stock and I have one with a M98 inlet on order. I'll be selling this one soon.
