Sporterized, steer clear.
Also Finnish marked. Too bad its Bubba'd.
Thanks, I have never seen oneQuote:

I modified a standard front band for it and have it in the stock. Looks finished but it isn't. If I were smart, I'd sell the rare stock to some other sucker and get a normal one but I never said I was smart.
Seems to be a common trait with all of us here. I have a lot of project rifles, so much I sigh every time I open my safe - I keep finding rifles that "need my help" I even have a boatload of parts I can't sell because I don't know if I will need them for one of my projects.Quote:
