Hello all again,
It has been 3 years since I posted about my G29o project so I will repeat it. At that time I could not post photos but I think I can now. My Dad was a WW2 vet who acquired this rifle from another vet in the 50s. Of course he sporterized it and discarded the stock. I had been looking for years and finally found one on Gunbroker. It was missing the cleaning rod and handguard ring and the wrist swivel had been filled in. I installed a handguard ring off a Chilean Mauser and reinletted the wrist swivel using one from a G98. All numbers match on the stock. The receiver is all matching including the bolt. It had been reblued, the bore is perfect. The cleaning rod is a replacement and the sling is off a G98. I have been contemplating selling it and am inquiring here about possible value. I know a complete matching original would be very expensive . Any help here would be appreciated. Thank you.
Dick
