9.3x62 Ready for Africa
14/01/09 05:19 PM

Well after a quick 6 months, she's ready to go. My Custom FN Mauser 98 in 9.3x62.

See her in the white:

Now she is finished.

I asked my gunsmith for a dull rust blue and that's what I got.
The stock I did myself with 10+ coats of Tru-Oil and then 3 coats of clear matte spray polyurethane.
The blank is a XX grade wlanut Old English Style from an Aussie supplier, Geoff Slee.
The stock bolts are bespoke items.
The rings are a little high to allow the bolt handle to clear the 1-4 Vari-IIc scope.

I'm off to Africa with her in June to hunt Eland and Kudu. Thx to Bramble and AusHunter for advice and recommendations on projectile choice and Tilleyman for all his 9.3 work.

Edit: Sorry for the poor photography.
