This rifle was built from a Turkish Mauser I found in a pawn shop. The stock was broken and the barrel was so corroded you couldn't see light through it. I offered the shop $20 for it and they didn't even ask me to fill out a 4473.
I had a local gunsmith remove the barrel and strip the receiver which was in good shape and back in 1995 I started looking for parts. i captured a Rem. 30-06, 700 barrel that was a take off from a new gun. Then I found a old stock Barret & Carlson stock with a built in sling. New it went for $200 but it was no longer made and I bought it for pennies ($15). It took 10 years to put together a Johnny Cash, One Piece At A Time rifle
Here it is with a Timney trigger, a Weaver scope, and a reworked bolt and safety. 53660
What is it worth? It holds 1 MOA at 100 yards and is a very useful.
