R.Marshall,
As to why they added the cork, your guess is as good as any. Maybe he just had some available.
I thought the bolt knob looked like one from an Arisaka also.

Here is a good discussion on the origin of some of these rifles.

He agreed to send the base to me so that I could study it, in return, I said that I would make a slide blank for it and if possible, make a slide. I was able to make a slide for his and complete mine as well. The slide was not an exact replica but was functional. Here is a link to some of the work I've done.
Lyman 35/36 stuff

I've got some slide blanks lying around and I could make another slide like the ones I made for Bill and myself, but I would need to have the base for a while. There were some small variations in the Lyman 35's from what I have seen, and I would need to do some hand fitting of the slide to get it to work with your base.

Thanks for the info! I may be sending you a PM soon.

You are welcome, I imagine that you will want to shoot it a few times and then figure out whether to keep it and put money into it or pass it on.

The barrel is 22.5" long measuring from the front of the receiver and the barrel diameter at the muzzle is .7835".

A gentleman on Gun Boards from Finland said it could have been a 300m Free rifle chambered in 7x57 and later punched out to 9.3x57 and I'm guessing the barrel shortened.

Dies and brass have been ordered. I'm trying to decide on bullet weight. I've seen weights from 232 to 300gr.

R. Marshall,
Check Graf and Sons for their 285 gr bullets by PRVI.

Maybe the cork is a Scandinavian thing! I picked up an FN action Husqvarna a few years back in 6.5x55 that had a cork buttstock pad.

The finish on the forearm of your Finnish, looks similar to the finish that was on the Husqvarna when I bought it. It looked like it could have been pine tar and I searched a bit and if memory serves (don't quote me on this one), found that some rifles were finished in pine tar.

Mine likes the 286 Nosler with 45 grains of 748 or 44.5 grains of Norma 201; or, the 270 grain Speer with 45 grains of 748; or, the 286 Norma with 44.5 grains or Norma 201 (note - max in my rifle). These are all around 2000-2100 fps.
