Caprivi,

The goal of this take-down project is pictured below. The Fraser magazine rifle pictured was marked exactly the same way you described above in regards to the .303 Fraser. This rifle is serving as my design goal as I have weights, measurements, profiles, tapers, tracings, etc. from it.

As to your mention of the M46, they make GREAT platforms for this type of work! And I've recommended that approach to others. I got my first M46 when I was in college as I couldn't afford a nice English or Scottish rifle. Over the years I've acquired many M46 and M146 Husqvarna's in 6.5's through 9.3s. I use them all regularly, but haven't brought myself to utilize them for a project like this yet.

Good evening Stephen,

Thanks for the picture. I vaguely remember the rifle either having a scope or maybe just scope mounts. I surely remember the forestock, the engraving and for sure the bolt handle. I don't have a "image" in my mind of a scope. Belonged to a man named Kurt Vogel (I was told) who was in Alfred Gallifent's shop while I stopped by. I was not of there caste, so there was not much conversation, but I surely remember the rifle.

After reading (and re-reading) this thread I went creeping thru this forum and found this, as well as others

These fraser's are just plain wonderful. One of these little beauties in 7.65 would see me thru the rest of my hunting in fine stead.

Again thank you.
