This kind of reminds me of the Romanian refurbed VZ 24 currently on sale by AIMs. http://pics.gunbroker.com/GB/150462000/150462601/pix369227843.jpg

A few got blued. Here's one of mine: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- What part of "shall not be infringed" don't you understand?

How common are these as most are in chrome finished? The rest of these are not "chromed" but simply polished hardened steel. That's referred to as being "in the white."

The stock was apparently made for the "narrow" band, and this is one of the "wide" bands. They simply cut a notch in the side of the band so the band-spring would snap into place correctly. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- What part of "shall not be infringed" don't you understand?

When my rifled was re-built/overhauled, it received a new barrel. My rifle has a forced match bolt as their are different serial numbers on bolt. One set under the bolt handle and another set that matches the receiver on top. Headspace is a little on the tight side. The trigger pull is 3 1/2 pounds and has very little creep. I have had a lot of fun with this gun at the range shooting pre-war German ammo I bought from J&G several years ago. The rifle also shoots S&B 196 Grain soft point to the same point of aim. I have yet to kill a deer with it yet but it will have another chance 26-29 December at my lease outside of Sonora Texas.____ Few Things Beat Quality Time The Trigger . Jim

I would say that is a unique solution to the problem. In fact, one of a kind in my experience. All the ones I've seen had simply trimmed back the stock and handguard to fit. Good luck and good hunting J/Jim. By all accounts, these will bring home the meat. Diplomacy is the art of saying nice doggie until you can find a rock. Will Rogers
