    Sporters form Japanese left over parts

    I recently put together two nice sporters from parts. I only had to buy one stock, found another one in my pile of junk and it is maple. The t38 with the maple stock is in cal. 7x57 mauser. At some time someone bored, rifled and rechambered a 6.5 barrel to 7x57. The second rifle is on a T99 action and I found the barrel in my pile of stuff. Inside of barrel looks like unfired. It was in 22-250 caliber. I bought a Clario Walunt stock for it. Got a local gunsmith to blue the rifles for me.
