I had the local stock maker refinish and fresh up the checkering along with installing a new red Noshoc and removing the white lines. Post-war gun but the Sedgley influence is very apparent.

I have one Wurzer & Peterson '03 rifle, it's a bench rest rifle with a Paperneck barrel and single set trigger. Paperneck and W & P both had ads in the AR after the war.

A few months ago he upgraded his duplicator to a Don Allen / Dakota machine. It makes me much more willing to buy some of these rifles that need some help.
