I spoke to RJ Renner on the phone today.
He is a gunsmith in Nevada who specializes in making modern production rifles into what for the purposes of this thread will be called “ pre war Mauser sporters” to avoid any sectarian violence
The purpose of our conversation was to discuss some questions I had about his Artemis sporter’s stock and it’s origins. If anyone else is curious it is based on a 91 Mauser engineers carbine owned by a client who wanted to replicate his old rifle on a ruger m77 RSI donour. He is willing and even sounded eager to try one on a model 7.
The good news for everyone who is into err.. pre war Mauser sporters is that RJ seems very amicable to doing stock or action work and then sending it off to a known importer. We talked about IRG and Prophet River.
We discussed simply sending him a factory stock from within the states and him doing the stock conversion work on it for the cheapest possible import. This seems like the best option, he does not seem interested in working with Boyd’s stocks because their foreends are sometimes hogged out apparently which ruins his stal... uh post war Mauser styling.
He seemed very reasonable in terms of fees and working out a way to get his stuff to Canada.
Nice guy who seemed happy to talk shop and passionate about his work
