Re: another M 88 sporter for the archive

I think they did somethings wrong when the rifle was changed for the 8x57IS in 1992. the rifle is now to much with this gloss finish, sure it don't look like this when new.
every part polished white now was bluing then or colour cases hardened. the ugly tip on the stock makes no sense at all and I bet it was done in 1992. I see there a tip made from horn maybe lost sometimes because the glue dont make it over the century.
who ever did it had the ability to polish the magazine white for nothing but was not able to fix the broken locations on the stock left and right of the action.
this is in the end an example of wrong and to much restore, would have been better they were using the time to fix the small things on the stock.

such higher grade guns, when original, never look like they are to much
