I have to tell you a story about a little mauser now that gots an happy end

you may remember something like this

a Eduard Kettner /Köln 9,3x64 Model "Markgraf" made by Voere in the 1970s

we dont knowing anymore what they were thinking then. my own theory is this

do you have a better one?

meanwhile I solve the problem with the swivel ring. knowing of course the "Alte Schreinerregel: Im Hirnholz hält keine Schraube . " http://forums.nitroexpress.com/showflat....true#Post213552

the original ring was changed by welding so I am in very good hope

last point to made was a rubber recoil pad and I thought that a leather covered one would be a nice thing to have. never down this before Igorrock was coming into my mind, you know it:

give it to your mom, its her job

the blank pad was cut to the stock dimension minus +/- 1,5mm for the leather with a working stock made of soft pine. igorrock told me that he was needing some kind of stock for the work and I have bad experiences with brocken stocks in post packages.

today I have got the pad back from Finland and it s good enough for me at least. I hope Igorrock have made some pics about the work step by step and can show it.

and here it is, just a working gun
