Winter Projects planned "youth rifles"
Posted: Mon Nov 01, 2010 4:20 pm
After getting a step grandson (12yo) and having a new 6 month old grandson i been planning on building some youth rifles. I been thinking of using the 7mm mauser action(south american) and the swedish 6,5mm mauser for my builds. I'm thinking of shortening the 6,5mm barrel to 17" or 18" and the 7mm mauser barrel to 18" or 20". Then rework the stocks to match the actions. As the kids get older these will be nice, low recoil youth rifles.
I just purchased a 1890 winchester 22cal pump and a 1906 remington pump for them too. I already have a husqvarna single shot bolt action for them too. Now i want to get a lever action 22cal too so they can learn how to operate and shoot every kind of action. I been seeing these older pumps around $750 to $1,200 too but i found a few at under $500. I really didn't want to drop that much $$ right now but grandpa's old pump rifle has been haunting me bad because i always wanted one.
I'm planning ahead now incase i pass on, they will be all set. I'm thinking about setting up a trust fund for there dirtbikes too. The baby already has an electric dirtbike that my son is fixing right now. He'll be riding by 3 or 4 yo.
