I couldn't agree more in reference to dismantling a military 98 in original condition . However, this VZ-24 had barrel shot out and stock was firewood. Supposedly brought back by sellers uncle from Germany after WWII .

In reference to conversion,I prefer to forge bolt as opposed to welding on new handle. The Buehler safety is a good replace-ment and Timney triggers are excellent alternative to altering the military trigger. Normally drill and tap for Redfield one piece base.

Have used several stock manufacturers and prefer woods other than walnut. I am currently working on 1908 Brazillian chambered 7.62 x 57 with persimmon stock.

Thanks for your input and let me know how the 338-06 turns out.
