Oh man, no featherweight 30-06? That is like sacrilege. Every red blooded American should own at least 1..

It’s bullshit. I search all over hell for a great 35 rebore candidate and you scoop them all up in the NW.

Ah well, I’ll keep searching whistle

You will have first dibs on this one, if I decide to let it go. Wait, what happened to your fwt 30-06?


I still have it. Won’t mess with that one.

I want a Featherweight to make into a Whelen though so I figured a beat up P64 or a later model like yours would be perfect for that sorta plan.

Yeah, that makes sense. Bobin said the later ones were his preference too because they were least desirable, so it wasn't as much of a big deal to make a custom out of it. Its not like an aluminum butt plate '55 or '56 anyway. Or even an early classic fwt would probably do the trick? Funny thing is I was headed over to buy that 6 digit classic featherweight you said I should have bought last month. Even though the stock had some dings in it, you are right that it was well worth $600.00... I just generally buy stuff in better condition. But if a guy was going to replace the stock with a Micky, it really doesn't matter what condition the stock is in and you can still sell the walnut stock on ebay to recoup some money. I wasn't really thinking on that one. I may still go and see if its over there. Had to buy another car though because of all the driving around I've been doing. Love the new 4Runner, but it only gets 21 MPG if I'm lucky going down hill and with a tail wind. I got 32 with the Accord the other day, which isn't too bad.
