i removed the ft and rear sights..tig welded in the holes..sanded down the stock cleaned up the parts and then sprayed it with duracoat...not great stuff but good enough for a range gun...this spring will see how it does...

What kind of scope is that? I want to put one on my mausers that looks somewhat "period." I like the look of that one.

Thanks!
