EDWARD CHARLES WICKS MEMORIAL BUILD

This rifle is dedicated to my Grandfather who was a sailor during WWII.

Many NOS parts that had to be fitted a little or hit with a mallet:

WWII dated receiver
rebarreled .308 Winchester - Thank you Shuff!!!!
Dean's Gun Semi Fancy Stock
All other parts are either NOS or excellent condition
Ron Brown custom leather sling

This will be my NRA Highpower match rifle.

I have one receiver left I plan to send to Mr. Shufflin by the end of the year for another .308 rebarreling

Looking forward to sighting her in next week!

Nice rifle. Too bad it's not in the proper .30-'06 caliber.
