Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Gunsmithing Springfield bolt weld, safety

I got the Springfield back from David on Friday. Now that was fast. And, as usual, he did a great job.

I told him I wanted a bolt handle long enough to not squeeze too tight at the scope eyepiece and forward enough to not bump my trigger finger. He mounted the $12 safety I picked up on Ebay, drilled and tapped for Weaver bases.

I inletted the stock to clear the bolt handle. It's ready to shoot. Scope is Bushnell 4200 3-9x40.

Looks great!

Should be OK for a working gun. It has an old Timney, set at a perfect 3#'s.

I'm hoping this '42 vintage Springfield barrel shoots as good as it looks thru the Hawkeye. It's about mint, obvioiusly wasn't shot much.. Gun is glassed and free floated.
