Only claw mount I have left. Apparently a postwar rifle. Very nice quality with a Nickel scope. Another back porch pig; ![[Linked Image]](http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r174/lt13demi/100_2806.jpg) It's a 30/06 ![[Linked Image]](http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r174/lt13demi/100_1529.jpg) Saddle on the barrel. Even better.

Yes I like this rifle! I just don't use it enough! Usually grab another as this one I forget about as it's in the back of the safe.

Very much appreciate the Bansner on mausers here...though I understand that stocking a classic action with a synthetic is an unpardonable sin in the eyes of the righteous... I guess I don't care what the "Righteous" say about these stocks. I have more rifles than I have time to hunt with, but these custom FNs are about as good as it gets for me in hunting rifles. I had the .375 built about 10 years ago and loved it. I'd been meaning to build another in .30-06 and finally had it done this year. Also, wrapping up a third, near identical rifle in .30-06 improved (aka .270'WCF). I've got a couple hundred loaded .375s with 270 TSXs, 500 rounds of unfired .30-06 brass plus 10-15 pounds H4350 and 1000 180 Partitions from SPS, and several hundred unfired .270 brass and a bunch of 130 Hornadys and 4831. All I need to do now is spend more time hunting.

I said, "some" meaning a few, not all, or most. As an aside, just how does one fire a proof load in an action? In a barreled action, yes. In an action, humm. All of mine have what I believe are Belgium Proof marks so FN must have found a solution to that problem.

yeah, do like the 06AI in mauser and Bansner. 7.5# all up --just right.
On a 1959ish FN (Browning)"small ring" which has a slightly shorter front ring and may be a throwback to an older mauser product--but haven't got around to looking it up...yet

It's been an awful long dry run at the shop! Nothing good coming in. Well in my terms.

No. I'm spoiled. Just watch the shop. I do not even attend the gun shows. Something comes in I like and can afford then I will work out a deal. I'm in no hurry.
Pretty much a hermit when I'm not at work. Hate driving around here anymore than I have to.

What he said, what did he say? Did some online shopping and found a few candidates. Oh lord give me the strength to finish one project before starting another.. Dr appt might take care of my mad money account today.

Dr appt might take care of my mad money account today. I studied Nebraskan dropped diphthong languages in college so I can translate. "I have two of the early ones. One in .30-06 and one in .270. Nice, well-made rifles. I use the .30-06 for cast bullets." Hint: Keep health care and mad money in different accounts.

One last question from me. On my 2 FN HVA's, one has a round polished bolt knob, the other has the bottom ground off flat and checkered (like my actual FN Mauser does) anyone know why? Thanks-Muddy

FN used some checkered flat bottomed bolts on Browning & FN mauser 98s early in production--Eastman's book.
