Good morning to all,
Well, I done did it!! I got not just one, but TWO 1898's in one deal! One is a Bubba'd "sporterized" one, the other looks like it has a carbine length stock on a 30" bbl model.
A little about me: Navy veteran, currently a Police Officer and Paramedic out here in the Government controlled paradise that is the Democratic People's Republic of California( :P ). Been reloading precision rifle stuff for many moons, so my Grafs brass is going to get a workout when it arrives. Now I just need to choose a bullet for one of my assortment of gunpowders which include Alliant Reloder 16, 17, and 23 as well as Hodgdon 4350, Retumbo as well as some surplus WC857 for my 7mm RemMag stuff.
Let the fun begin!!
Attached is a pic of the 30" barrel version, all identifying marks were Polished off when it was re-blued at some point in its life. It's got a 1901 rear sight. That peep hole is small!!
