So, this rifle has been in my safe for 7 years. It was my first real custom gun. It was completed July/Aug 2014. It started as a Pre '64 action DOM 1953. I will have to go through some paper work but if i remember correctly, it's got a Douglas barrel on it with 9" twist. I had Eric Meitzner (retired now) from Solon Springs WI. do all the metal work, chambering, truing, etc. The stock was picked out as a blank from Accurate Innovations (www.aigunstocks.com). It's hand checkered, has ebony tip, steel grip cap, and Winchester repo red pad. I wanted this done to look somewhat period correct so it has been rust blued and has sweated on sights. I was going to chamber in 7x57 Mauser, but decided to go 7x57AI. I believe the smith shot it 3 or 5 times to verify chamber and I shot it 3 times in the yard because I had to. It is throated for 160 AB's. Now I know I have more into this rifle then what I'll get out of it but I want to test the waters and see if there is any interest. Sitting as it is, I would like to see $6000. This is definitely a niche gun and not for everyone. The pics in the white are from Accurate Innovations when they were fitting the stock. I sent them the barreled action when it was complete (less bluing). I don't need to sell but it's taking up space (a lot of space especially when I keep other guns away from it) in my safe. If interested, PM me.
