She looks like a WWII rifle again!

482483484485486Just got the type III lock bar sight put on and that was the last touch. At least from an outward apearance she is an SA 1945 3666428

Looks great. Is the barrel WW2 as well? Stock? Just curious about other details.

[luvmym1 13]

Unfortunatly no. The barrel is a SA-12-51 and the stock is an SA replacement stock. most of all the other parts are correct for the rifle the bolt is from 1940. Plus I am a little unhappy with the lock bar on the sight. It's a type 3 but someone rounded the edges to it either to smooth them out or make it look like a type 2. I might change it but I don't know.

That looks really good!! Great work!

Nice rifle!

You should'nt have a problem getting another lockbar. They are not to hard to find and not that much $$. Wish I had known a little while back, I had spares and could've given you one. I only kept two and both are dedicated to projects already.

Thanks Dave I'll probably look around so far I have only seen the whole pinion assembly but I'm sure there is just the lockbar out there somewhere. The other problem i'm tackling is I would realy like to send the stock to tim to put the appropriate cartouge on it. But it's got a DAS on it now

I bought parts from this guy when he had a table at the Allentown gun show. I was happy with all the stuff I purchased.

That DAS stock is too nice to screw up by putting a different cartouche on it. I would personally get another stock set to send to Tim and keep the DAS for a postwar project.

[luvmym1 13]

Wow thats great Jak thanks alot. That will cut the research time down. I will definetly look into that.

[luvmym1 13]

Yeah thats probably the best things to do. It's a good looking stock so I would definetly use it on another rifle

[luvmym1 13]

Ok lockbar issue that was bugging me is resolved.
