German M88-picking up the pieces

[Hank08]

Picked up some pieces of a Schilling turn of the century custom M88 awhile back, pretty buttstock so decided to try and keep that part, action was not harmed, found a new 7 Mauser barrel (had to rethread) rear sight from a Swedish 96, ramp front from somewhere, forend off a military stock and a few other pieces of walnut to fill in and it's like new again, has great double set triggers and is very accurate.

Wow.  Darn nice job on the wood repair.

I'll second on the repair job. Great work and nice looking 88. Frank

Now that's a pretty good job putting all those pieces together and you have managed to come up with a really nice looking rifle.  Cool.

Thanks guys, I appreciate your comments. I pretty much had it figured out just what I was going to do but was surprised how well it all went together. The wood for the forend was beech, I think, and almost white in color but after staining it's hard to see where the joint is. I've put about 300 rnds. thru it now and have the rear sight so I can adjust it for any distance up to 300 yds. Fun rifle.  H08
