I have many in Mesa. You may come look.

Very pretty and nice work on the bolt.

Someone's dream. Great project if you have the time. Helps if you know how to weld aluminum. Your existing pontoon boat must be extremely stable and able to hold quite the party. Or, did you turn it into a house boat? My brother is doing the same thing, one day in the future. Too much fun!

A lot of work went into that. Got to respect that. What would it go through emissions as?

Should be fun. When you consider what sales tax would have been, that makes it roughly a $278.00 rifle.😁

Good to know. Thanks. I love getting better educated. I was told you cannot use them in Yellowstone or the Grand Canyon, without a special permit (like that would happen). I believe Yosimite was the same, wife and kids went there while I stayed home. So I misunderstood on the other national forests. I knew you couldn't use them to hunt, or herd. Thanks for the clarification.

If I remember correctly, illegal to scout with drones. Also, illegal to fly in the National forests. Neat for pictures of your property from the air, unique selfies, etc. Height flight restrictions. But fun to fly.

Almost feels like it needs a coons cap to go with it.

Prettier than the smaller caliber ones I have. I bet it kicks a bit.

Black powder pistol. Caliber?

Always replace the dryer when you replace a compressor or condenser. Sometimes you need to flush the system when a compressor dies. Add a little of the correct compressor oil if needed. Nice to see so many people willing to help each other.

Great kindness and very thoughtful. Good to see in this new year.

And thoughtfulness. Good to see it still exists.

Impressive kindness.

Beautiful. Happiness is a sale where both parties are pleased.

Be nice. Mosins have survived a long time. King of Findland won an Olympics with one, I believe. Hex receivered Mosin.

Yes

Mule, not mile.

Hex to me $225 maybe $250 with matching numbers. Others may pay as high as $400. Your gun. Kick like a mile. Fist time I shot one I didn't hold it tight to my shoulder. Nice bruise for awhile.

Hex more desirable. Sporterization hurts depending on how much. Bayonets plentiful and cheap. Matching numbers a plus.

Back 20 years ago they were $50 to $75 all day long. I like them but you have to be careful with closing the bolt with ammo feeding correctly. If you rush or slam the bolt shut, on rare occasion, the bolt can hit the primer if the round is jammed at an angle. Brass casing pieces fly out of the receiver, bolt is slammed backwards breaking the bolt, magazine blown and stretched, and stock typically cracks. Receiver and barrel do not typically get hurt. One guy had it by his stomach when he quick slammed the bolt open and then closed, but not. He had to have emergency surgery to remove the brass and repair his belly area, stomach and intestines, etc. Lucky to be alive. I saw the gun and have pictures of it saved some where. The brass was the clue that it never entered into the chamber very much. Theoretically, I guess it could occur with other Mauser style actions. Hope this helps.

Hex receiver worth more than round. I'll give $175 to $200 depending on condition and if it is original, not sporterized. Truthfully, there were a bunch that were recently imported and they were asking around $325 and up. Cabela's has some in kind of rough condition and they are asking for your first born, around $400. Search internet for current sales, not asking, including GunB.....

Looks very nice. How does Sitka compare with Badlands?

Looks like fun! Better to keep it until AR prices rebound, when you can. Congrats on the successful build!
