Mentioned in the daily ammo dump thread that I've started a new project gun using a German made 93 action small ring action a 96 Swede barrel , and the stock that came on the 1938 swede recently. Got the barrel installed and the headspace checks out OK.

Got the handguard installed. Kind of looks like a sniper rifle.

Just out of curiosity, how much does it cost to build these rifles. I'm considering doing some.

I probably don't save $$ doing it. I takes a little investment in tooling, gauges, reamers etc. I look for good buys on actions, barrels, etc. It's done for enjoyment. JOHN

JOHN ^^^Probably the finest description of a hobby I have ever seen. I coached youth sports for 5 decades (1977 - 2019) because I love kids and wanted to do something that would/could help (in some small way) my community.

Unfortunately with going back to work fulltime as a delivery driver, I haven't had the time or energy to do much at this. I really miss it !!!

I know about delivery driving. Been doing it since 1994. A few breaks in there. Now I have time for my hobbies.
