I bought the Polish Radom rifle out of a wooden barrel in the school bookstore. Stripped to the action and bottom metal. Contoured, fit and chambered a Shilen barrel in .270. Converted the metal to sporter configuration & single staged the trigger. Filed up, polished, drilled & tapped the action. Stocked from the blank of Iowa Black Walnut with Ed Shulin, American Classic styling. I sold the rifle about 10 years later to buy an airline ticket to Las Vegas to join the American Custom Gunmakers Guild. Sure wish I had the rifle now~ Last edited by SDH-MT; 06/23/25 01:22 AM.
