A steyre 98 mauser in 7mm I had a stock turned by a guy I sent pictures of a German rifle and another gun the barrel was supposed to be 24 inches when I got the stock looked like a m700 rem.the barrel was 22inches so I just set it aside I have some sights, rings ,barrel band now I'm going to see what I can do with it.

I got pictures today from the person doing my checkering, it is finished and will soon be back here. I am very pleased with the look: ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/LPRGHl0.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/PBcleN8.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/KWdIMCe.jpg)

I received the stocks and the checkering is first class. I am putting finish in the checkering now and hope to have the rifle together next week. Then I need to refine the feed and make some screws. Then "Bang" and see if it works.  Then refine the sights and last blue the metal. Once that is done then only time will tell.

It will be even nicer once you've applied finish to the fresh checkering!
