I have a Siamese mauser action that I saved from a junk bin long ago. I have been hoping for years to get around to turning it into a .348 Winchester. Add a good, 4x scope and a nice stock, and have a great thumper for just about anything. I know my .35 Whelen has more power, and it is easier to get bullets and brass for. But I just love the way the .348 looks. Besides, how many people out there have .348's in anything other than a model 71?

You know, I really don't care much for real modern firearms, but I wouldn't mind building a "Big Stick" rifle.

Purple Mc Swirley with a Stainless Remington Model 7 action and a #1 Shilen 20" barrel in .25 Souper...Topped with, a 6x Leup with target turrets.

That's about the only modern rifle I'd be interested in. I could settle for a .260 but the .25 Souper would be much more fun.

Just curious, but what makes a 25 Souper more fun than a 260? 0.007" in bullet diameter?

My dream is a Drilling. 12 guage x 12 guage x 308 with a 22 inch barrel and good staight grained wood. No fancy stuff, just a good working tool.

I like the 284 pattern.

1903 Springfield in the Owens style with Lyman 48 sight and dark English walnut. Just like Teddy Roosevelt's or Jack O'Connor's first one. .30-06 of course, but the second one would be a .400 Whelan.

I'm doing it ATM.

338 Win Mag in a Pre-64.
24" Lothar Walther barrel. I dare say Williams bottom-metal(if original cannot be restored the way I want it), & the stock just scrapped back & redone in a slightly darker-matte stain.
Blueing will be matte, with maybe some sort of weather tough properties?
It will be feed a diet of 210gn TSX's, with a warm load(2900fps).

Leupold QR rings(low) & bases. Vx11 2-7x33(WD).

I've always wanted a Martini action custom. A 25WSSM would be nice if they take an unrimmed case. I'll probably never have it.

I am very seriously considering a new Laminated Rem 673 Guide Gun in 6.5 or .350 Rem Mag before they are all gone. I will remove the rib/sights.

I've always wanted to do an .45-70 1886 Extra Light rifle in Exhibition English, Red rubber shotgun pad, Talley inletted buttstock swivel, integral front swivel, Lyman peep, Rust blued w/case hardened lever and hammer. Perhaps a french grey nosecap.

I'm also hankering for a rook rifle in .32 S&W long,26 inch barrel, perhaps with a Leupold Alaskan 4x. Not sure what to build it on; perhaps an old Savage 219 w/reworked metalwork.

Lastly, I'd like a .257 AI Rob on a 1st gen. 700Ti., 6x42 Leupold.

Only time and money.

What custom project did you always want to do?


Do you mean what's next on the list? Don't we all have something in the planning stages, always?

My next builds are going to be a heavy barreled 220 Swift and a mountan rifle in 25-284.

If I could afford to, I'd go with three NULAs.

1) .260 Rem

2) .308 or 30-06 or maybe a .30-.284 (gotta have at least one oddball if we're talking full customs)

3) .350 Rem Mag or .35 Sambar

Ditto, and have him build me a rifle chambered in 257 Roberts similar to the one he built for himself in 9.3x62 that is pictured in the Gunsmithing Forum over on AR. No instructions other than 257 Roberts.

Not a Dakota factory gun, a nice custom built by a gunsmith that cared as much about how it shot and looked as he did about making a profit on the job.

I came across this thread while using the search function and enjoyed it so much I've brought it back from the dust bin.

Terry, love your #10 project, a #10 by James Anderson is likely my next custom.

I'm contemplating either a magnum 7mm (Mashburn?) or perhaps a non magnum in 6.5 something or other....

It would be a light and lean 20" barreled Mannlicher 8x57 built on a M96 Swede with a nice stick of Cal English. Low double square bridges with QR one piece rings (similar to my 280 below) and a rear peep and front cover that store in a Biesen trapdoor buttplate. Came darn close to pulling the trigger on such a build with Roger Green a bit ago. Some day it will get built.
