[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2903408, member: 115658"] I have 4 FN Mausers, 3 JC Higgins M50's - one looks like it was a refugee from a wet garage, covered with light rust when I bought it. Most but not all rust pits were polished off then re-blued. It is now a 6.5-06. Two looked almost new,one re-barreled to .243 & one to .280. The .243 is on its 3rd barrel, over 30 years. The last is a bench rest type having no magazine and no opening at receiver bottom. It has been speed locked, bolt face opened and is now a .300 WM having an extended chamber allowing 3.5 COAL ammo. II have had it for 55 years. It is on its 3rd barrel. The Husky rifle looks great. Trigger having safety vs. bolt lock type. It would need inspection. Keep & enjoy as is or re-barrel & restock. It is drilled & tapped. My Mausers have Warne bases, with Burris Sig Zee rings except for the .300 WM which has an EGW 20MOA PIC base. Designed as battle rifles able to handle tough stuff with more than adequate safety features. Just love that controlled feed & extractor. Thanks for the pics. [/QUOTE]
