I took MR.CLARK's advice and sent the 98 i've put together in 9.3x62 to Nick to be parkerized and..............WOW!!!!!!!!!! Its fabulous! Turn around was fast ,Quality unsurpassed,and the price was excellent!!! I took some pics and will email to MR CLARK and he can print for us. I'm too old to put em on here by my self. It started out as a 1908 brazilian 98 in 7x57 and when I took wood off to clean it was so badlly pitted I wouldn't shoot it,then I ran across a 98 barrel in 9.3x62 on an auction site and bid on it . I've got a good Canadian friend in Lockport NY who has a cabin near my farm and had it shipped to him and he brought it across as "threaded Pipe" Had a 1909 trigger guard and timney trigger ,so put them on too. the stock was from a Charles Daly 98 I picked up on Ebay for 50$$ and it fits very well. I shot some loads when it was in the white and recoil wasn't all that bad .In fact it was pleasant to shoot. The scope is a SIMMONS Aetec 2.8x10 and works well also, just can't wait for Moose to open!!! Our group(s) have both cow&bull tags this year so we'll see howit goes. I'm getting a little long inthe tooth(67) but figure I have a few good hunts left with my " BLACK RIFLE" JITC
