Rifle Face Lift !

Had this rifle built for my southpaw grandson to shoot 2 years ago and decided to get it a face lift for him.
This is the only pic that I can find of the rifle as it was built. Not a great pic but you get the idea.


Song dog in the snow.



Here it is after Fluting the bolt, adding the bolt knob, machining the firing pin shroud and a custom cerakote job.

He was all smiles when he saw it.

You Sir are a good Grandpa

Where in Grayson county, Mike?

I'd like to look over your should periodically.

Looks great.

257 Wby Mag is a great caliber too.

Nicely done!

Wanna be my grandpa? Nicely done.

That will be a treasure for that kid for ever... dang nice rifle and coming from grandpa should make it pricless

That's awesome and good job g'pa!

When you get our age it is more fun to Give to our young'uns than it is for ourselves. Mostly, what we do buy for ourselves, will someday be theirs anyway.

Great job on a great gun and GREAT caliber. Brass is easy to find too...

I need to forward this to my grandpaw! Lol

Nice!

APR did the work for me. I picked this one up as I dropped off the Bartlein barrel and LH 700 stainless action for him to build me a 26 Nosler.

That is a fine looking rifle and a very fine thing to do for your grandson. Ya'll are what makes this forum a real good community.

Well I'm left eye dominate so I shoot left handed. That young man will inherit some nice southpaw rifles when this old man is gone.

Outstanding looking rifle and sure it will make some great memories for him. Nicely done!

Sweet facelift.

Brings a tear to my eye...

Well done Mike.

There you go giving me ideas again! I can't wait to finally hand them the cash needed for mine.

You're a good Grandpa!

Robert at APR is a personal friend of mine. I've known him long before he opened his shop.
He appreciates nice hand made knives and I like nice rifles. When you shoot left handed like I do and want a specific caliber rifle that usually means having one built since most of the rifle companies aren't very lefty friendly when it comes to left hand rifle chambering choices.
