Next was a trip through to the GS to drop off the parts for his attention.
He will shorten the 6.5x55 barrel enough so he can rechamber for the 6.5x57 with his match reamer then rethread for my action. He is going to reprofile the chamber end out for a few inches to give it a more pleasing appearance as well.
Change the bolt handle, D&T for the Tally bases and front sight, and weld up the trigger pieces and the lock screw hole on the TG.
It could be a while till he gets it done so I will have to controll the impaitence till I get his call.
I called into see a friend and picked up a partial precarve mannlicher stock and will finish it for a G33-40 with a number of changes. The biggest being the grip end being changed to a Prince of Wales grip and the cheekpiece and butt end will get a major reshape. Incidenty this B/A is military configuration and will stay that way.
