Re: The old truck gun....

So what do you call "NOT MUCH"? I see a PSS, Krylon on the stock, changed out the factory BM to DBM, added a bolt knob, added an extended rail, rings and USO SN-3.

I have several upper end ones myself, but I still don't think anything with an SN-3 on it could be classified as not much. Although the optics were twice what the rifle costs.

Could have been trued, bedded, bbl set back, money can rack up quickly.

Just curious,
Mark

Re: The old truck gun....

Let me clarify.....I sold the rifle, not the scope.

What i meant by "not much" is the fact that only the knob, the base and the recoil lug were new. The barrel was set back and shortened instead of purchasing the normal Mike Rock or Kreiger. I do all of my own work so all I had in the rifle was some time, not much actual money. The rifle was purchased as a used barreled action and I had an old painted "pull-off " PSS stock that I inletted, painted and Bedded in Marine Tex myself.

In the grand scheme of things, I had about 1/3 to 1/2 of what my newer builds cost me. I have gone to boring the receiver and putting oversize Kiff Bolts in them, new barrels and A5 or AICS stocks on my new builds....considerably more $ involved even though I do my own machine and stock work.

The USO is still around and doing what it supposed to....

Nice job coating the stock

Re: The old truck gun....

Thanks Keith. That was my first pass with the aresol canned alumahyde. It works great until you quit spraying and then the tips clog like hell. I started removing them and dropping them in thinner before I store the stuff now....

Nice looking rifle. To bad you had to sell. Been there, done that.
