I would get a Super Nova instead of a Nova. The Nova stock and receiver are one monolithic molded piece. If you break the stock you'll have to replace the entire receiver, the Super Nova has a removable stock which can be replaced if damaged in the field.
Kimberkid,
That came out really nice. I'm on the hunt for parts right now. It turns out that the older front sight base is the most difficult part to find. The one on the existing barrel is pitted beyond repair. It's amazing how when you don't have a project the parts are every where, but as...
I just checked the serial #. U prefix I believe that means 1960 manufacture. I'm actually excited. I started to think about methods to use my Mauser action wrench to do the rebarrel with out damaging the action, looks like all this pieces of oak and maple are going to come in handy.
Just acquired a box of parts that I'm told will assemble into a Marlin 39. The story goes that someone hid the gun in his house to ensure his grandkids didn't play with it. It was forgotten and subjected to water damage. The barrel has some of the deepest pitting I've ever encountered, but the...
My knife was waiting for me when I got home from work tonight. All I can say is "wow". Kieran did an excellent job. The pictures, walnut scaled knife in post 125, do not do it justice, and the leather sheath is beautiful. All around great product and service. Thanks.
Get some acraglas from Brownells and go to town. When the cracks and other repairs are completed see the hand rubbed oil finish tutorial in the sticky section. Looks like a fun little project. Good luck.
If you are looking for project to keep you occupied, you could always fill the pits with JB Weld, sand flush, and Dura Coat it. I did that to a rusted and pitted 1908 Brazilian Mauser Sporter that I got for a song. I think I put $40 total including shipping and prep materials. It came out...
Check out www.brassstracker.com they have them for military Mausers, but they are built by a guy who makes leather accessories for rifles. His name is Rick Lowe.
Probably not, but not all strippers are created equal. If you are using a good one designed for restoring antiques, I would say you're fine, if it is some harsh no-name similar to an oven cleaner you can damage the wood. Kleen-Strip works well and is available at just about any hardware store.

Sorry for the delayed response. This is one of the manufactures, but I have seen similar ones from other companies. I do believe Talley makes one as well.
There is a rear scope base that has a fold down aperture sight. I think it is right around your total budget for both the front and rear sight, but then again it is also your scope base. I've also had good luck finding older banded front sights online at good prices. The Lyman's give a rifle a...
