LR Wallack VZ33 Rifle - .243Win
      #243466 - 08/03/14 03:58 AM

Hello,

I purchased this rifle for the action. I had every intention of pulling it apart when it arrived and setting the action aside for a future project. The listing did mention Mr. Wallack but his name didn't ring any bells for me. When it arrived, I looked up his name, only to find I even own a couple of his books.

I am familiar with the mechanical nature, rarity and value of this action.

What I am trying to determine is if there is any good reason to leave it alone, and sell it to someone who might value the name of the barrelmaker and/or builder.

FWIW - It weighs 9 lbs as pictured!






















What I am inclined to do, is fit a 7mmMauser barrel to a small ring action I have, fit it to this stock, reshape the exterior and fix that cheekpiece.

Then fit the barrel (if it shoots well) to a 1909 Argentine to build another rifle.
