I have just received pictures of a new Stutzen rifle built by my friend Joel Dorleac. In his mail he writes:
"The "Bergwald Stuzen"
A full stocked 6,5x57 rifle built by DORLEAC & DORLEAC on an original 1927 Mauser action, trued, blue printed and fitted with new bolt handle and a side swing safety.
The Lothar Walther barrel is 22" and we have tried to make the open sights in the traditional Oberndorf manner, with a free banded front swivel.
The stock follows our regular style and was made from a 1969 French walnut blank from Tessier, in Brives.
The discreet engraving makes use of mountains plants only, without any scrolls.
The client, a chamois hunter, ordered a S&B "Summit" on our special claws mount.
Hope you will enjoy, Mehul !
Joel Dorleac
DORLEAC & DORLEAC"
Good hunting and happy viewing, everyone!

Gentlemen,
To everyone who enjoyed these pics - I keep pestering gunmaker friends to send me pics of their work for posting here as I know that this is where they would be appreciated the most. From your responses they can see how true this is!

Roscoe,
Will start pestering Joel again, my friend. I hope he does not declare me enemy for life because of this pestering for pics.
