OT: Finally completed custom rifle...it does have a lever

Post by Bruce Scott »

Image
Action: W.W.Greener Martini (started life as a 12G shotgun)
Calibre: 32-40
Barrel: 26" medium target barrel by Montana Rifleman
Sights: NECG banded front and adjustable rear.
Stock: English style, American black walnut with Neidner style buttplate
Weight: 9 pounds

This has been a long time coming. Rather a long story that involved a gunsmith going into receivership, his stocks being transferred to another shop, no communication with customers, etc,etc.

Man I love custom Martinis!!

Very nice! Like the caliber choice!

I'm bidding on another action now.
Hope it doesn't go crazy price wise!
I was thinking 38-55 for the next one.

That is a fine looking rifle. The wood is gorgeous, and you have a one of a kind rifle.
