I just refinished the stock on this old custom varmint rifle for a friend. I found under some gummy dark varnish stain, some unusual Maple. It is a combination of birdseye, and curly maple. The action is 98 Mauser, the barrel is a tapered bull in 270. The owner said that his grandfather had it and it was built in the late thirtys, or, the early fourties. There is an old Lyman V5 target scope on it, and the bbl. is Marked ALAMO GUYSs. We would like to find out if that scope was of the era of this rifle, and if anyone has heard of that bbl. maker. I am going to try and post a picture of this gun. Sorry about the quality of this picture as it dosn't show the stripes, and birdseyes in the stock.
Thanks.
