I'd appreciate a full length picture of the left side, I've saved the others for as yet undetermined projects! Just when I've convinced myself to stay away from mauser actioned rifles and building rifles on them, someone like you posts another beauty that makes me rethink the entire process!

I have a VZ24 have want to start on. Bob Mason out of Weippe ID. Did the safety, and Clyde James did the the Burgess style bolt and stock work. I am not sure who Clyde had do the rust bluing but it turned out very well.
