I swung by the ventura gunshow today and accidentaly ran across a neat project.
Its a benchrest heavy barreled (and I mean HEAVY, one of the thickest I've ever seen) mauser rifle that is chambered in .308. It says:
Santa Fe (Short)
Mauser Action A-26
Golden State Arms
Passedena CA
It has never been fired and comes with a stock that is almost compleatly inletted and glass bedded.
Apparently it was a project that an older percision shooter was working on at the time of his death. He was working on finishing up the stock inletting and fitting a buttpad when he passed.
the seller didn't have the partially the butpad but everything else is there and aside form some extremly slight blemishes, it is in pristine condition.
I know alot of people say that a gun has never been fired when it actually has had a few rounds through it. but this really is unfired. I don't believe optics have ever been fitted to this gun, there are no marks, scuffs, rubbs, discolerations etc where you would expect them.
Anyone ever hear of this company? is this a worthwhile project?
