Looking for a project rifle? I have a rifle that is pretty rough and a spare barreled action.

For whatever it is worth, Royal Tiger Imports has a selection. Information here. Cheers.

@ Funkmaster Phat Can you send or upload pics, perhaps?

I tried ordering, they called and told me they were actually out of stock. They did take my money so I'm hoping to get that back.

Yikes!

Here's hoping they straighten it out ASAP. (And there goes my fleeting thought of acquiring a Mauser from them.)

The full story is I placed the order yesterday, I got the call earlier today that they were actually out of stock. I asked when I could expect to see a refund and they told me they didn't charge anyone until the order ships...but after the call I checked my account and found the money was indeed taken out of my account. I'm hoping this amount is just being "held" otherwise I'll have a rigamarole to go through.

 

[Funkmaster Phat]

I'm not at home right now but either tonight or tomorrow morning I'll dig it out of the safe and post pictures

 

[Funkmaster Phat]

Pulled it out of the safe today. Sorry for the delay.
I haven't looked at it in years and it isn't as rough as I thought it was. It is missing the thing that goes inside the adjustable sight and the sling mount in the stock. Otherwise, I think it is all there.

The one with the cut-down stock looks fairly promising actually. How much do you want for it? I'd also be willing to trade for it if you have something in mind that I might have and am not attached to.

Looks like it was just the bank holding the amount... and I got it back without having to bug Royal Tiger, so I suppose in this regard they've done ok by me.

I have a rifle that I purchased awhile back and thought about 'shortening' the barrel until I found out it was 'progressive' and should only be cut down on the breech end, not the muzzle. So the only thing done to it was to cut down the full stock and bend the bolt. Not really 'sporterized' but it did work for me. Ammo clips were/are the hardest to come by but I did get a few. Hornady did/does make some ammo but it is on the hot side. Bullet diameter selection is critical if you reload. The Lyman 45th edition has reload data.

Nice looking Carcano.

Never fired? Only dropped once?

I have one and live in the same town. New to this site and not to good with a computer. Call me 360-448-3441 to meet up and look at it. It is beautifully sporterized.

 

[raftman]

I've already ended up purchasing the pair offered to me above (and made good headway in de-sporterizing)... but do you happen to have any of the original parts? In particular any rear sight components or handguards.

 

[Grumpy 1]

No parts, just what is in the photos.
