The MKII is probably my favorite of all the various Hi Powers I've owned (20 or so). They are fine guns.

And the FINAL piece has arrived!!!!!
W00T!!!!
I don't even know how much I've got invested in this barrel... initial purchase, shipping to me (2nd day air required), then Duracoat, then shipping to machinist, fluting, then shipping back, now reaming and chambering next... <sigh>. Some folks say a 6.5PRC barrel will only be good for 1,000-1,500 rounds. I sure hope I get more than that out of it. Don't want to be doing all this again in a year.
We'll see. For now, though I am happy happy! Last bits in place, now the actual build can commence!

Hey TR, some guy put the rifling on the outside of yer barrel.
Very nice! I doubt you blow it out in a year. Most high end target guns don’t get shot like we shoot our deer rifles. I’ve seen guys spend two hours at the range and shoot less than ten rounds.And the FINAL piece has arrived!!!!!

You are right, I imagine a hundred or two rounds to get truly dialed in and get my loads worked up. Then... well, we'll see. I've learned a ton already with this build and know enough now to build a couple of other precision rifles in other calibers if I decide to go that route. I have tons of reloading stuff to work with and would only need new dies, really. I can foresee myself building a couple more later if I really enjoy this long distance stuff.
Can't wait to bring it to our long distance meet ups!

Looks nice
Just picked up Luger #2 this afternoon!! However, this one is a 'reproduction' by Mauser/Interarms built in the 70's. It does have a grip safety. Never been fired!
