The only BIG problem with your solution is that getting the rifle into Tanzania took 4 months and that was with extra cash

and good connections, normally this process is 6 months.
Getting the rifle to Heym and back would be a year long project! One hunting season with out a back up rifle!

Had is been my rifle - well I would drive to Germany, like I did with my Express rifle in .500 Jeffery and tell them what to fix

. I canb also fix up the stock on my own guns with CCL oil products, but as you all know this is a 30 day project where the rifle is to no use. and then the rifle should rest for about 14 days for the oil to harden up. I an doing this to my own double NOW.
My friend o the other hand does not have the time or skills to this.
What to do?

Cheers,
