    WTB old centerfire in rough shape

    I need projects. I'm looking for re barrel , re finish, re store in any way candidates. My final class is a capstone project, its about a year out (begins jan 2023)

    How about a 460 Weatherby that's still got a cartridge (yes cartridge) lodged behind a stuck bullet, in front of a blown bolt from 1988?

    Hey everybody, had some family stuff come up and have been busy with other things
    A few people, in addition to the op, have contacted me. Y'all give me a few days and we will sort it out.
    Thanks.

    classmates? like gunsmith school? can you refinish, reblue and return? or does it have to be a sale, I might have a couple candidates, old tang safety ruger 77, left in barn a bit too long, chunks rusted outside of barrel but still shoots bulleyes, old rusty marlin or Winchester, still shoot great.
    something like that or does it have to be broken and not functional?

    It is a school . I'm only comfortable buying at this time . The more broken the better , but I'm interested in discussing anything for sale even if it works ��

    I have a half dozen Mauser projects that only need a finish on them (maybe a few need feed rail attention). PM me if interested

    I've got a Krag sporter that may fit the bill.

    1891 Argentine Mauser Carbine in 7.65x53. Minor issues. Would be a perfect restore or custom platform. Will pm my contact info.
