Silk purse out of a sow's ear
« on: May 11, 2004, 04:42:20 PM »
I ordered a Cz 458 Lott a while back (8 1/2 week wait) with the upgraded wood. I customized it to my liking. Which was to add a forend tip & grip cap, fill the hollow in the bolt handle all with dark walnut. Put a shadow line on the cheek piece, fill the front stud hole, install a barrel band, file of the XXX's on top of barrel, tone down the stampings on receiver & barrel, reblue, & apply a nice satin tung oil finish. I also fabricated a hi-viz front sight out of a shotgun sight. ( for my old eyes!) I smoothed the action & did a trigger job. Now It's ready to go to Africa with a little load development. Pic's below if interested.  :)
Regards Mike
