Cg63/m41b

I lost a friend last year that worked at a local military gun supplier. He had been looking out for a couple of guns for me. After he past on I figured it was entirely too tacky too pursue it and let it go. I went down to the store a few weeks ago and one of the workers asked me if I had any guns on hold from my buddy? I had pretty much forgot about it until then but, woke up in a hurry. I came home with a mint CG 63 and very nice 96/41B sniper, 1955 year build with the scope can, both, for $1,800.00 USD. While doing the paper work the guy working there know told me of a real nice 94/14 carbine he had just sold the day before. Man I gotta get out more.

To all my friends on this site, I apologize for my lack of participation over the last few months. I've been putting in some very long weeks between the day job a rifle builds at night I'm logging 70 hours plus a week. The up side is the collection is going to be growing as soon as I get out more. I hope all is well with you folks-SDH

I was getting worried about you and was hoping everything was ok, other than just being busy.

Glad to see you back partner ...

Nice acquisitions! And I feel ya! Lately I'm a slave to the Crackberry and busy like mad rebuilding my lathe. Takes away oodles of "online time" to live life

It feels good to have a little breathing room again, I'm finishing up a tack driving light weight for a fellow in the next town, I'm chambering it into .260. I tried to talk him into 6.5X55 but he wouldn't budge.

Claven2 I hear you load about your lathe, I spent over twenty hours on it getting the run-out to within +/- 0.0005 at the tail stock. I want to minimize the use of floating reamer holders for cutting chambers (I just don't trust them). The lathe is an old school Leblond 17" swing, 5' centers with a 1.75 spindle. Even though its old man, when you get it all set up, its a great runner. My next project is re-working the mill, its been about ten years and I'm getting afraid to put an indicator on it.

Glad to be back talking with folks who know what the score is and how to get it. Badger you've been putting up some top shelf stuff, its nice to have a visual bench mark to collect with, many thanks!SDH

Thanks, just glad you're ok....

Next time, we want two weeks notice in case of absenteeism ...

Thought you might like claven2's lathe project. We think he's sleeping with it.
