Very nice wood. Really like the the shape of the cheekpiece.
Was able to obtain a very nice M28-30 barreled action : with one issue . The rifling was excellent but someone had fired a round with snow in the barrel that left a ring bulge inside the barrel about 1-1/2 from the muzzle . Accuracy was unusable . I cut a couple inches off the barrel re milled the end of the barrel for the Finnish M28-30 front sight and silver soldered in place .A quick test firing revealed most excellent accuracy restored actually using an old M39 stock I had as the new stock has not been bedded yet .The original Finnish 2 stage M28/30 trigger is excellent plus ! Will reblue the end of the barrel . Bolt was heliarc welded with a classic Finnish style bolt handle .As this will be used for local Biathlon ski events I may use Finnish M27 sling swivels or something similar .Next will be glass pillar bedding of the stock
