My question is that since it is going to be $100 for a few small parts is there anything else you can think of on my 9.3 Brno that could be sent in too? Guns don't kill people, it's mostly the bullets

If you're not set on Turnbull you may wish to contact Mike Hunter at, www.hunterrestorations.com He gave me the best quote and was completely responsive to all my questions. Looks like he does good work too. The Chosin Few November to December 1950, Korea. I'm not one of the Chosin Few but no more remarkable group of Americans ever existed.

I'm on my way home from Cincinnati. I'll repost the pics when I get there. Are you planning on leaving the bottom metal stock? I did the BRNO trigger guard on one of mine and it looks very nice.

Looks like he does good work too. Have you sent anything to him yet? I sent an email for a quote. I haven't sent him anything yet. At first I was just lazy and now I'm very busy with work. I decided that Karnis was going to fit my buttplate, grip cap, and sling swivel bases when he refinishes my stock. Once I get that back from Karnis I'll send the parts to Mike Hunter.

Here are the few things I had case colored on my 21H: Trigger guard Larger Size Front barrel screw Larger Size Scope rings Larger Size Now if you really want to get classy with it I would suggest you find a Nitre bluer to do a few parts to go with the case color hardening. It would be top shelf! I would do all the screws (action and barrel) and the bolt release spring Nitre. I love the blue contrast it gives. Scope screws and bolt release spring cover Larger Size Action screws Larger Size Hopefully you'll get a few idea's from this. Terry Last edited by TC1; 04/30/12.

The bad part is it seems like the longer this takes the more expensive it gets! It would have been a hell of a lot cheaper to go with the CZ or Ruger but I don't think I will regret this one at all Guns don't kill people, it's mostly the bullets
