Title: Two more in the safe!
Post by: John Galt on April 27, 2015, 09:03:26 PM
Top one is a heavy refurb in a Chinese stock made to look Russian.  Bottom one is a light refurb, no BBQ and is my nicest Russian thus far.  I am planning on testing, cleaning, and photographing soon.  Trying to find some spare time as I am brewing some beer, planning on smoking some salmon I caught in Lake Superior last week, and making venison jerky drool2 
I want to be ready for May 15 Walleye opener!

You know how my wife finally figured out I had more than I was letting on?  The extra gun cases I had wouldn't fit under the bed anymore and kept falling out onto her feet when she tried to push them under to make room.   :))
She was none too happy!  cry1

John, when you told me you had a 'Russian in a Chinese stock', that is most certainly *not* what I had pictured in my head.  Those are two excellent specimens!  Whoever did the wood on the Chinese did a darn fine job!  thumb1

R-M,

I did the Chinese stock.  I got the rifle from GB.  Ninja stock and all.  I sold all of the Ninja stuff, had a spare chu stock and figured what the heck.  $225 in the whole thing.  Then I traded the Russian with the chu stock for that Romanian M44 that I posted a while back.  Today, that guy said he needed some $$, so I bought it back along with the other!

Soon I will be the guy needing some $$ :o

It's always easier to ask forgiveness than permission, or so I have heard. I just keep the gun cabinet locked.  chuckles1

I really like that Chinese stock, nice job.

Looks a lot like the ghosts stocks to be honest.  You use the ole torch method?   Looks fantastic.
