So a co-worker has been telling me for some time now that he has an old Springfield Armory with a rather unusual stock. He asked me to fix it up, clean it and install some parts. OK. He brings it in and I didn't look at it, I told him to place it in the back of my truck. I get home and begin working on it. Before.



And after..





It was fully assembled to begin with, I just cleaned it up and installed the mount and glass. I called him and asked if it has ever been fired. He said no. It was bone dry. Some grease and TLC and this thing is ready to go. Here's what I know.......TRW hammer, HR trigger group, windage knob marked BME, elevation marked WCE, can't recall who makes those. The stock is Choate and folds as you can see. Barrel is 16". S/N is 078XXX. I'm guessing it's an older model. He said that's the way he bought it off the shelf. I've never seen such a set up, and it looks to break several gun laws....

Looks like the old bush model, but I didn't know it came with that stock either. Tell him to be a man and take the first shot with one hand like it was a handgun. =)

Did that with my Mauer 98k... was incredibly awkward, too heavy. Did it with my Rio Grande in .45/70... won't be doing that ever again :P. This is what happens when you plink around someone with a Mosin M44...

Wat laws does it break in Ohio? Its perfectly legal AFA I can tell

It isn't breaking any Ohio gun laws(or federal laws either). That's a 18 inch barrel(not 16)and SAI sold bush models with that stock back when that serial number was made. That's one fine looking rifle.

That is a pretty nice looking rifle. That stock is desirable too, you don't see many like that.
