doublegunshop.com - home Forums General Discussion Classic & Custom Single Barreled Sporting Rifles @ doublegunshop.com In-Process 6.5x55

Heres one I have on the bench now; along with stocking it in the style of many pre-war German sporting magazine rifles ive also barreled it in 6.5x55 swede in the same profile as the original barrel, utilizing the original sight bases and sling stud(not installed yet). Ive installed a different safety and will be making scope mounts prior to polishing and blacking.

As photographed I have just begun the oil finishing process, much left to do.

The rifle will come out at 6.35lbs with its 22" barrel, and all the accessories including the metal butt plate.

Its been a delight to try my hand at a German styled rifle in lou of the English I typically find myself doing...not that I can complain. Hope to do more!

I'm not a fan of Continental styling, but I can only look at your photos and marvel. Tremendous work.

Outstanding work Aaron, what action did you start with?

Those are the most elegant rifle stocks ever developed. Outstanding work, sir.
