I wish, both are "American" calibers. The HVA Carl Gustaf (Husqvarna 1900) that sits in a custom stock is a custom barreled 338WM and the factory barreled action is in 30-06. They are extremely rare in left hand. I feel real lucky to have a set! I don't think you'll find many folks that don't think they are some of the finest actions ever built (yes,that includes customs). They are made in the mid 70's and both are unfired.....that is until I get done with them!
I have my work cut out for me as I just got the stock back from the duplicator who spun up a stock for the ought 6. Lots of shaping,inleting, bedding, furniture installing, finishing, and checkering to go!

Nothing wrong with that battery selection!!!, 06 can do most anything from varmints to moose with the right bullet selection and for the heavy rifle the 338 is GREAT for anything DANGEROUS that you want to ANCHOR on the North American Continent. Also looks like your stockmaker selected an equally BEAUTIFUL stick of walnut for the Win-Mag. I looked @ a Supergrade in 300wm about 15yrs ago that I'm still kicking myself for not putting in the safe, all the bells and whistles, custom stock, custom checkering(not overdone), ebony fore end tip,steel grip cap. inletted sling mounts, fit looked like the stock grew around the action and floorplate, and the kicker was inlelled into the heel was a compartment to hold 3 or 4 rounds of ammo, seen them in the Brownells catalog but the floor plate of the shell holder was polished and blued to a perfect match as the rest of the rifle, oh well, cant say there will be another chance unless I have it built but that wont be anytime in the foreseeable future.

Gota jump on those deals sometimes. I think I did OK on this "set". I gave $1100 for both the 338 and the barrelled action. I'll have that much in them again by the time I get the 06 up and running and both scoped with Leupy 2.5x8 VX3's.
I told the stockmaker I wanted the 06 stock to match as close as possible the 338 stock. He did pick a nice match.

Well, on my bench over the weekend wasn't exactly chainsaw related, but it does carry one on occasion... 
Tangled with a branch, and it lost...
It had taken a hit before, and had already put a little metal behind it, but looked up online, and cheapest one was $60.
Sooooo.
Cut out the center with a hacksaw.
Then found a piece of metal from an old stove, cut it to fit, drilled some holes, and painted it black.
Hasn't been road tested yet, but seems like it would work. Looks kinda odd, but should keep the ol' 250 goin..

I've also been working ON a bench. A little dumpster diving for the mahogany cabinets and a solid core door that I've had around for ever and some castors that I salvaged somewhere.
It's mainly going to be an outfeed table for my table saw. But I'm sure it will come in handy for tearing into saws.

Keep looking for an original in 6.5x55, they have killed and continue to kill all game in the world.
Yeah, man. Rock on. It'll be so cool when all game in the world is dead.
Stay in your lane, Ted. What's on your bench?

Agreed. Finished up my pre '64 Winchester Model 70 .308cal last year. Incredible build, in every way. I still have a Stihl 039 from 029 conversion on the bench. Using Chi-com cylinder/piston with Caber rings and OEM cir-clips/bearing/piston rod. Plan to finish it up this week. Ordering new bar stud and decompression plug this week before it can be completed. Glued up cracked plastic on handle, even though I already ordered and received a new one, colors didn't quite match and it would have looked like most Huskies. Can't have that kind of crap in my garage.

Aren't you the same guy that said you could find OEM cylinders all day long for the same price as aftermarket ones? Husqvarna plastic varies in shade so they're crap, but you're proudly going to run your glued together, aftermarket 039?
