Have Ed Lapour turn the barrel a bit to remove the sights. I’ll have to see how it shoots first. Bruce Farman is my Mama’s cousin. Guild guy. Builds incredible stocks.

You need at least one rifle like that. I don't regret the one I had done.

I picked up a pre-fit 9.3x62 bbl that will be cut short on the chamber and done in 9.3x57. A generous soul here has offered to lend me his once used 9.3x57 reamer for the project.

I'm thinkin' something like this with a 20" bbl.

That'll be a sweet one. I have a Husqvarna 46 in 9.3x57. A joy to carry and shoot. I've yet to take any game with it but it's reputation is solid. I have a bunch of 286 grain RN Norma bullets loaded up for mine.

Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.
