Very nice gentlemen. A lot of work went into Vladymere's. Dayrly's is more my speed and almost identical to my brother's M71.
I've been wondering what to do with a M71/84 Police Carbine I have. It's just a cut down rifle from S. America or I'd never consider doing anything to it. Looks like they used a cutoff saw and just hacked it off fully assembled, then cut a dovetail for a simple blade site. The stock is almost black and looks like it was beat against gravel.
But it is a functional repeater with a good bore. Getting some ideas from you guys. Those should be great for Black Bear in NC. Oh my! Then my 9.3x57 might get thrown in the back of the safe.
