Quote: Photos of the action, please! "V 76" may point to the Mauser factory, as Mauser used a V-prefix serial # for experimental actions.It depends on where it is and how it looks like. V stood for "Versuch" = test or try.
I originally planned to post this:

From what I could see, using the advice and information from the folks here and Accurate Reloading. Oh well. A very cool project that someone put together with some very good workmanship, but not worth the asking price to me at the moment.
I am still mulling it over and may call up and offer them a lowball price. The old Lichert, which originally caught my attention, would be nice on one of my older rifles."
With what you said, I am uploading some (rather poor) pictures to Photobucket from my cell phone camera. I'll post them up when I get them on Pb.
