Been looking for something to do with this pistol lower I've had laying around guess it's it's time to see what all the fuss is about when it comes to .300blk

Wife said she loves the lil abomination already

I was actually thinking about you today Wolfie.

My actual face right now

....wish I was more of a brat and bagged my dad into buying a crate of these when they were just $1000 for something like that

Yes, these were still all new and in the cosmoline. I figured you would appreciate them.

Come on 160, what are those tomato stakes?

Back to the 300 BO. I have a couple bolt guns that I run suppressed. Very useful round at 50 yards subsonic.

Local youth love them.

what maker

always sort of wanted to do a M28 fin type build , see if I could shoot like Simo Hayha "white death"

Russian Mosin-Nagants. 20 of them, new in the crate.

so you didn't luck into a crate of American Mosins ? Whestinghouse made a number of them for Russia in the pre soviet days

The military stuff isn't my thing but I will admit that I never knew Westinghouse made any. I never even looked to see what maker these were. I had a plan for them but the price got up to make it cost prohibitive.

They were a pretty good gun, basically a rimmed 308. Decent ammunition or reloadable brass was sometimes hard to find though. Still wish I would have bought a few back when you could pick them up for about $75 a pop.

it was 1915-1919 Westinghouse and Rem made about 280K of them

if you see a hex receiver , start looking for markings , not all hex receivers are US but all US were hex receivers.

Good to know. The crate sold for just North of $5500 so it was more than I wanted to spend on my project.

Used a 300 BLK OUT for a couple years deer hunting. Lots of run aways and most found to late .
