Thank you Derrick for posting this. This rifle means the world to me. My dad bought it brand new and when I was 11 or 12 he gave it to me for my deer rifle. He passed away in 95 and I have always wanted to build something and dedicate it to him. Well here it is. I really appreciate you Derrick for taking the project and making it just freaking awesome. You will always have my business.

Derrick, would you mind posting a close-up of the bolt? I'm looking for a knob for my M70. Thanks!

Beautiful and sentimental
Derrick, what coating do you use? Your guns always have a shine instead of flat. Looks great
