Dark_Helmet,

Very nicely restrained and businesslike!

What is the matte finish on the barrel? I have an old Mauser in 8x57 with folding leaf sights that I would like to convert into a using gun similar to yours.

Good hunting!

I have no idea what that matte finish is... but it is not proving to be particularly durable...

the 8x57 would be a great candidate for a conversion, the first picture is actually from the guy I bought it from, I had the glass fitted before it was delivered to me (kinda regretting that now, honestly).

the wood has darkened a little and looks much more classic in appearance now, I'll try to get a couple new pics snapped here soon.
