M98 to smith for assembly!

[jon lynn]

Saturday, I took the Mauser, that Gil Martin helped me acquire, to my smith. He is going to put the .308 tube on the action, and give it a blue bath when he gets enough customers.

A delivery from Boyds showed up today, consisting of a JRS nutmeg laminate stock, and a Bold trigger (preset 3lbs).

I think I am going to like this set up. Since I couldn't bring my 98 back from Germany in 2004 (my first return), I thought I would copy it.........well kinda. My old one was 7 x 64, this one gets an American taste, just for ease of finding ammo.

I finally decided to top it with Fullfield II, since my Mauser in Germany had a Fillfield on it.

2010.....everything's 'comin up Jon! Well........Not really, but I will take what I can get!
