I have just refurbished this Vickers Armstrong Martini action rifle , it dates from the 1930s but its a superb little rifle .

This was before stripping .

The stock has been stripped as it was varnished , steamed it to remove all the dings , after rubbing down it has had 15 coats of raw linseed oil and 3 coats of Briwax .

 

As the stock wasnt original to the action it needed some inletting and bedding .

The butt plate is aluminium so I polished it and recut the grooves with a file to sharpen its appearance .

Just need to get it to the range and see how it shoots .

Just bought another rifle (the missus aint too thrilled as it's number 51 in my collection :yp: )

 

Webley Raider two shot, it's a Brummie made gun so i think that makes it at least 5 years old...

Here are a few of mine...

 

This was the last stock I built. Pre-64 Winchester Model 70 in .270

Here is my 220 Swift. It started life as a Remington 700 with a 26" bull barrel. I sent the barreled action to Christensen Arms in Utah where they machined off over 2 pounds of barrel and wrapped it in graphite. I restocked it into a superlight synthetic. Shoots 55 grain V-max molys at 3,850 fps. It can shoot up to 4,300 fps with 40 gr, but I don't want to pay for another one of those barrels.

Here's a rough photo of my 35 Whelen on the job in western Alaska. Another pre-64 Model 70 I had rebarreled and did a quicky stock job for the hunt.

Thanks for looking.

New rifle. :good:

 

Its a Mosin Nagant Russian service rifle in 7.62x54R calibre and made in 1934.Maybe not to everyones taste and i do admit that it looks a bit agricultural,but i like old military rifles.Kinda kicks a bit with the old surplus military ammunition,but its still fun!
