Veloce --Could you send photos of the gun taken down so we can see the details of the takedown arrangement and mechanisms? I am in the process of making a gun using a Greek 1903 M-S action, and I intend to make it a takedown. It would look similar to the gun you've shown us in these pictures. Mine will stay chambered in 6.5x54 M-S, of course!

Thanks,
Tony
