Tahoe, That looks like an entertaining project and about the only way to come up with a low cost rifle in this era. It will be a handy shooter in a caliber that I like too. Salt Flat

Thanks Salt Flat, I've got $170 into her ($220 counting shipping), maybe $50 more for the other parts needed. That's still cheaper than any budget gun, if I get 2 MOA I'm happy, I hunt some thick woods with the occasional 100 to 250 yard clear-cuts, so iron sights on a handy little carbine are just the ticket. That 7.65x53 cartridge is still awesome after 125 years, 150 grns @ 2600-2700 fps and 180 grns @ 2400-2500 fps still gets the job done.

Was at the GS yesterday, and found out she was .010" too long in the chamber, so we removed the barrel, machined .010" off the breach
and put her back together, and wa-la PERFECT !! Sights had to be reworked again, but she's ready to go !!
next weekend !! this is gonna be a long week !!
