Small bit of advice: it might be worth investing in the aluminium bottom pieces for the magazines. The plastic ones sometimes break, plus the aluminium ones look sharper! I don't know how often they do break, but often enough for them to warrant selling aluminium replacement pieces.

I broke 1 and while I was waiting for my new pieces to arrive, a couple more broke.

Thanks. I was already eying those up on the Nordic Marksman site. I need to pick up a bore guide and a few other odds and ends and will probably add the base plates too.

You are 100 percent correct. The top is a running boar. The second is a KKJ-T but it came in a custom thumb hole stock from a previous owner. The third one is a KKJ-T that a previous owner slimmed down the fore end on. Although I would have preferred it untouched, it does really handle well off hand. The last one is a KKJ sporter (Magazine fed).

I lucked out with that running boar. A number of years ago Tradex brought in a bunch of Annie 54's and guys were going nuts over them. I already have a 54 and the prices were good but the best ones went pretty much instantly. Well... the next page had the running boar. Everyone was so focused on the Annies that they didn't notice that Walther!! Let's just say, I didn't hesitate!

By the way some pretty amazing rifles on this thread. Thanks everyone for sharing!

I remember seeing some Walther smallbore rifles at the Nats in the '60's with those stocks, I think Rudy Shultz' partner was making them ( Alf Meyer,, maybe?)

I remember going to Rudy's shop in Kitchener, he always made you feel welcome & was a real gentleman.

My buddy Peter has one of Rudy' rifles on display in his office.

South Pender - That rifle is absolutely stunning. You must be over the moon with how it turned out!
It is hardly recognizable as a P94s! In a great way mind you!

Congrats!!

South Pender, absolutely stunning, as others have said. Did Leroy and Connie Barry do that one?

No. All the metalwork was done by Ed LaPour; the stock and engraving were done by Bruce Farman. Both in Bremerton, WA and both members of the American Custom Gunmakers Guild.

Ed octagoned the barrel and cut a Win. 52D match chamber. He installed a Jewell trigger with the bottom safety and made the bottom metal--modifying a Blackburn Win. 52 hinged floorplate. He also made the scope bases and soldered them onto the receiver. These take Talley vertical-split rings.

Bruce did all the stockwork and engraving. He also cold rust-blued all the metal work, including the scope mounts.

I've added some more pictures to my first post to show more of the work.

Thank you for the info. That is one beautiful rifle. I have seen your pics of the pair of Kimbers done by the same two 'smiths. Those two men are certainly among the top craftsmen in the business. Congratulations on such a fine, fine rifle!
 
Hi Southpender, I've been following that rifle on RFC, excellent post and beautiful rifle, truly a classic with all the right touches. Have you had a chance to shoot it yet? I would love to hear a range report.
