Then one Christmas I received a I think it was a 6.5 mm Jap rifle dad bought surplus in a barrel at Kmart. He bought a stock had the bolt reconfigured barrel shortened a bit and sporterized it. I was in Heaven because I knew Whitetail season was an option next season.

Still have, to this day, the 7mm Mauser my old man bought in the 60s at Kmart in a barrel of cosmoline - actually bought 3 of them for $25 each.
He completely refinished them entirely. He kept one, my brother got one and I got one. One of the best shooting rifles I have ever had - and one of the most beautiful as well.
