I inherited an old unfinished rifle and I am not sure what to do with it. My father in Law worked with Pete Pride who made high quality rifles prior to WWII. Pete was located in Texas and made rifles from scratch, my father in law developed some of the boring systems and did some of the fitting and seating. The rifle I have has been seated in a walnut stock. The stock out side of the seating is still a roughed out block. The rifle has a mouser action. The bolt is in and it appears to be a 30.06. Some of you may know of Pete, he did hold a world record for accuracy at one time. I would like to sell it, but even more I would like to see it finished and enjoyed by someone who would appreciate it. If you have an interest or any suggestions please let me know. You can email me direct or add to this forum and I will check regularly. I also have 4 really old rifle blanks of the same age, one is a walnut, one cherry, one birds eye maple and one similar to cherry but feels heavy. I am a woodworker, but would rather have them put to use with someone that would use them as intended. They are very choice. Curt cdrahn42@gmail.com
