I always wanted to build a bull barrel 98 mauser in 308. But being frugal i just never got around to spending the $$ to do it. I just received a swiss k31 on special of $69 from "A". It looked in fair+ condition but after cleaning the stock and steaming the dings and dents out I have an excellent looking stock now. I stained it with Behlen Master Solar-Lux stain in medium walnut after it dried I took 320grit sand paper and lightly sanded the stock to reveil the harder wood grain that turned a lighter orginal wood color.(whiter) I then took the Behlen Master Solar-Lux stain in orange-yellow color and stained the stock all over again. I now have a two toned wood color that looks awesome the two colors blended in but not exactly it looks great i like playing with stain colors. Just to have something different that looks great. I purchased a Tru-Glo 6-24 target rifle scope with 4" sun shade from sportsmans guide and the st marie scopemount from grafs along with the st marie muzzle brake too and its a long scope too. I found the 3/8" 1" high scope rings at CDNN for around $6. Its not a 308 but with the 7,5mm swiss having the reputaion for accuracy i'd figure i would build one. I think its going to be a real tac driver when its done.
I was thinking of getting another swiss k31 and installing the st. marie dioptler sights on it too(peep sites). I think it would be neat to have these two swiss toys to play with. I have a few put away in orginal condition too.
