I got a good deal on an already bubba'd Swedish Mauser M96. I have been continuing the "bubba-ification" of this poor old rifle. Since it was already drilled & tapped I remounted a scope. The bolt did not lock down 100% since the wood was not relieved at the bolt handle, so I removed the wood for the bolt. This made the knob sit directly on the stock, making it difficult to cycle the bolt, so I carved a 98k style bolt "pocket". Since I modified the stock (Making it absolutly worthless) I went ahead and sanded it. it is only stained, not finished yet. Here are the pictures of it so far. All I am going for is a military-ish shooter. If it shoots well, I'll probably spring for an upgraded stock, and trim the barrel lenght. At that point, maybe even sweep the bolt handle for some style.
I've never bubba'd a gun before, its kind of fun.
