I am absolutely lusting over the idea of a Damko Martini in 7.62x54r and enough crates of surplus to shoot out the barrel

I mean I was until I did the math and realized it would cost ~ 3 grand to import one

 

[chasseur]

Ya figuring out the cost of buying from the States and importing to Canada can be a complete buzz kill

 

[The Kurgan]

You should see my Oskar Kob Martini in 32-20.

 

[conor_90]

I was deluding myself l; I figured what the hell -~2500 CAD is practically a ruger no 1 these days

Then you add the taxes and shipping in both countries; and the import fee. Next thing you know you’re paying 3 grand plus for a gun with an advertised 6-7 lb trigger pull. And that’s the base barrel mounted sight, no cleaning port version

You should see my Oskar Kob Martini in 32-20

I mean I could, if you posted pictures.

More interested in your BRNO money pit

 

[The Kurgan]

The Brno is almost done. Wayne is finishing the matching tomahawk and his friend is finishing my leather scabbard.

 

[conor_90]

^ very nice

Stock is refinished or custom carved for the action?

 

[The Kurgan]

Stock is original, just stripped, steamed and Tung oil finished. I liked the original cartouches and minor wear.

 

[mctrigger]

Righteous!

I have a very soft spot for martinis and kurgan that’s a beauty

Oskar Kob. Sadly, it moved to another home. One of two major firearms regrets, but I was going through a separation and needed the cash.

 

[209jones]

I built a 218Bee on a 044-1/2 Stevens action
I bought an 1885 in 223
I bought a #1 in 7-08
I bought an 1885 in 300H&H
Also have a Merkel K1 in 7RM.

[southernman]

I have a k95, with a 7x65 barrel, have a .243 and .22 hornet barrel on order,
Pretty well placed with those three, but am considering a second single shot k95 in Stultzen, perhaps 6.5x55, or .222
Pretty happy with my current single shots.
K95 7x65
#1. 30-30
#1. 219 zipper.
Cooper 20 vartarg
Cooper 6x47 Rem.
Going to send the Ruger’s down the road, and one cooper for another K95.
