The time has come (maybe)

[VASCAR2]

Got the original barrel removed. A local lgs I've used once before, he just set it up, torqued off the barrel. Bam.
Talked with him a few minutes, he built himself a nifty little grendel on a barrel he made, into a mini-mauser action from an international arms (?) older rifle. Looks cool, hexagon barrel and all.

Anyway back home I thought, while I 've got it this far apart why not try and see if that timney I bought couple of years ago (howa 1500, #609 style adjustable), would fit. As I recall it did not but didn't remember why. Turns out the little screw to fasten it to the action underside, is a tad too long, sticks up so the bolt cannot get back into the action. Can't use howa's screw, have to use the timney. Well, what have I got to lose? Took that little screw and my belt sander (the vertical disk) and shortened up that little guy. Voila!! all fits well, so this howa is getting a trigger upgrade as well as the barrel!

Almost as good as bacon n eggs, pancakes and pure maple syrup.

I wonder if that was a Zastava mini action imported by Interarms. My brother bought a 7 mm Mauser with Manilicher stock imported by Interarms in the late 70’s.
