Well, this is another one that came back. I had this one last summer and got it in a swap for an old beater milsurp. Traded it to my old gun trading buddy. Gun was like new then. It is basically a Winch. Mod. 70 with a hardwood stock. Well, he decided he was going to tinker with it. He took the sights off, stripped the wood, cold blued it, refinished the wood and put a rubber butt pad on it. He used it during hunting season and brought it back recently. Again wanting to swap this gun or a C.V.A. Stalker for a Beretta .32 I have.
Well, this one would have been o.k. if he hadn't fugged with it. His polish and cold blue was not bad, but the he sanded the pressed checkering on the wood. That kinda destroyed the look. Now he doesn't want it no more. He has alot of nice rifles anyway. Well, my thought was maybe this one, just to keep him swapping stuff. I can always fill the fugged up checkering, sand it and paint the stock all black, add a used bipod on it, and take it to the gunshow. There will be plenty of gunshow commando/ninjas looking for a good price on a "sniper rifle." If it looks like one, well o.k. it is one. It's just like the Winchester .30-06 Carlos Hathcock used in Viet Nam to shoot the "Cobra" through his riflescope. SOLD to the gunshow ninja.
Well, whatever? I just don't wanna have to give up the Beretta .32 at all, unless for some other classic I will keep.
Here is the Winchester before he fugged it up. It was real clean,. Still is, but the stock leaves something to be desired. Proably be sshooting it Thursday. He said to "treat the guns like they were mine." Well, they ain't yet. The Bereetta still is.
