My 91/30 ex-sniper rebuild

[Aragorn243]

As promised, photos of the finished project. This rifle is an ex-sniper bought at Dunham's for $79.99 plus tax and fees, roughly another $10.00. Scope is a Firefield brand reproduction with cast steel mount for $137.97 + $16.48 shipping. Drill, tap and cutting oil were approximately $11.00. Bolt conversion service was through ebay $30 + $5.50 postage.

The stock has been stripped, cleaned and refinished with linseed oil, many coats. I spent about half an hour this evening doing some finish polishing of the bolt handle. I did the stock work and tapping and mounting of the scope myself. Final cost about $291.00. Haven't sighted the scope in yet, waiting for a nice warm day.
