RE: almost done with my first custom
Nice looking rifle Jason!!! I too have a VZ24 Mauser that will be turned into a custom job soon. I am picking up an as issued Yugo 24/47 that will replace the VZ24 as a "truck gun" and the VZ24 action will see a new Shileen Barrel (in .257 Roberts), Timney Trigger, Probably also a Microfit gunstock, and a new safety in the Winchester Model 70 configuration. The rifle will also have a couple of other little things added such as most likely a new floorplate, and will also have to be drilled and tapped for scope mounts and will be topped with a Leupold VX-11 3-9 x 40 with Leupold Bases and Millet rings. I can't wait to get this one started!! BTW, a smith will be doing all of the work for me, except for maybe the stock.
