    “Stick” got upgraded a bit by drilling and tapping the action, fitting the rear base to the charger bridge, straightening, cutting and welding the bolt handle, and fitting a scope safety.
    It’s getting a Simmons 4x from the cabinet- painted to match of course.
    It handles great! It’ll go into the hunting rotation for sure.

    The trigger(and new safety) have some hitchinthegitalongitis going on, so I’ll need to correct that. I have a spare 93 trigger standing by.
    But the 100 yard group ain’t too bad, considering.

    Well, the D/T safety doesn’t have enough meat on it to cam the cocking piece clear of the sear.
    No matter, the original safety clears the Simmons 4x just fine. The original trigger is actually OK for a Mauser so it stays.
    I shot one 3 shot group @100 yards in 102 degree heat and called it good.

    Dat'l do.
    Spell check doesn't work in Chrome, so if something is spelled wrong, it's just a typo that I missed.

    A couple of pictures of the 1943 Husky with the 358 Win 1-14 barrel. The drill and tap is done, ramp is polished, Timney trigger installed, adjusted to the safety, , scope safey and base installed, knob tear drop shaped, bent and swept, bolt Jeweling finished, The trigger guard is milled narrow and tapered center to edge, receiver face abd rugs squared, threads trued, bolt lugs hand lapped to 100%, the action ways are lapped.
    Now I deed to mount and headspace the barrel plus decide on the stock/wood. I will do a thumb hole but....type of wood is another matter. Leaning toward another Walnut, maybe a claro with a bit of figure.

    My vacum system is not set up, so I would need to take the duplicator apart, move it outside, cut the stock, take the duplicator apart and move it back in, then reassemble it. Way easier to just order a cut stock, inlet it, glass bed, finish, etc.

    That’s looking good, Rapier!
    The taper/long chamber area makes that barrel look like an ER Shaw. I’ve had good experiences with their barrels.

    Yes, Sam it’s the 120gr Sierra over a mild load of 3031.
    The bolt face looks a hundred years old, so I’m treading on the respect for elders side
