A quick search on the Nitro Express forum will locate hundreds of great photos of Mausers

Here is a 1910 Mexican in 7X57 I had done awhile back. The metal work is by Mark Stratton and the stock was done Chic Worthing. Terry

Terry,
Did that Sako compact take some altering for the JC Higgins?
Thanks Sir,

Yes he is. I understand his health has caused him to retire. One more . It's a stunning rifle. Maybe the most beautiful piece of English walnut I've ever seen.

I used to have Mr. Stratton's "book" so to speak. He sent me a binder full of machine drawings and tips on how he made octagon barrels, 1/4 ribs, sights etc.
Lost it all in the divorce and I'm pissed about it.
Great guy.
