VZ24 - I am bubba

[nekshot]

I was really getting bored and out of a bunch of vz's I bought years ago to sporterize this one a 1937 year had the best metal finnish of them all. This stock was the nicest walnut in the bunch, handguard did not match so I took from another stock the wood to make this ones hand guard. I thinned everything down just a little to feel more like a gun and not a premedial club. I figure no offence to any one as these vz's are not sought after except by guys like me who really like their recievers! Out of the bunch only 2 stocks had this nice mineral streaked walnut and now only this one. I am sure this metal was refinnished at some time but the metal is free from scars of any kind. Maybe a pacifist was issued this gun?

You did good bubba:)

+1 on the pre-medial club! Looks like you removed the redundant side mounted sling swivels. Good job!

[JSnover]

That's an insult to Bubbas everywhere, it looks way too nice.

Very nice job! You and a few other sure do some nice work with wood! I have been thinking about refinishing my turk thanks to some the work you guys have done.

No hacksaw, no dremel, ....no bubba...sorry you do not make the cut, looks too nice for a true bubba. Kinda like someone pretending to be a redneck.....rednecks know who is farse...... and as a true bubba...I KNOW YOU IS NOT ONE. :smile:

Agree on the VZ receivers. I must admit I have to agree with 357M when they turn out that nice, you ain't no Bubba! Sorry, I can tell you do not have the capability of making Fugly. Gtek

You fella's almost make me blush! Wait till you see the takedown vz I am working on. If all goes as plan it will be clip fed. These vz's are a hoot to work on, the actions are super smooth to begin with so all you do is the outside of gun.

That's what thought when I bought ten from CAI many years ago. $75@?
Told a Mauser collector friend of mine, who insisted on looking at all of them.
I got three back!
Ordered five more to make me happy, Didn't show him these.
Some I kept were counter bored, some others had other maladies. Actions were oh so good.
I seem to get rid of all my 8mm Mausers and then think, 'Oh I want one again!'
They're as bad as some drugs.
Wish you were closer so I could 'allow' you to bubba some of my current house guests.
Looks good!
