#259493 - 26/01/15 11:12 PM

Mauser 6,5-284 Custom Made
I just receive the stock from craving. The craving job was made by Stefán Hrafn Erlingsson he is one of our greatest master for wood craving and skrim shaw here in Iceland . I have be making this rifle for may years, now is just the bluing job and it is finish . The action is Steyr model 1912 one of the best action for a custom work like this, I change the magazine with a hinge and my own opening system . Safety from Recknagel in Germany and other parts are also from Recknagel like the scope mount, sights and grip cap. The scope is handmade from Pecar-Berlin.
Here you have some photo.
Thanks Johann Vilhjalmsson

Beautiful work. Very classic. I don't see carving much anymore. When it's nicely executed, as in this case, it's very beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Did the action require much work to get the 6.5-.284 to feed properly?

What do you expect to hunt with this gun? What kind of animals do you hunt in Iceland?

What a beautiful country. My sister spent some time there in the 80's. She loved the people too. She traveled Europe and told me none were friendlier than the Icelanders. Norman4
