Well you fellows know from Juniors Turk thread that I cut down a 1908 Brazilian to a Mannlicher carbine. Currently I'm refinishing the stock..in the sanding process at the moment. Then I'm going to redo all the metal. I have some new buffing wheels coming and bluing solution. Today I made a new bolt handle for it and welded it on and in the process of final shaping and polishing. I have a scope mount coming for it also.
On the Yugo SKS, because it shoots so good with iron sights I've decided to scope it, but scoping it the proper way. That is with a dedicated SKS sidemount by Choate. It's in my opinion the best one out there. Going to top it with a mini compact 3x9 with military reticle. We're going to see how good this baby really shoots.
So I have alot of irons in the fire right now and will take some time before they are finished, especially the Brazilian carbine. When they are done I'll post.
