My New Hubalek .22 !

Hello ALl,

Sorry for the poor pictures. Just opened the box from the stock maker. This is an interesting rifle and I can't wait to shoot it and report back. This was a barreled action that was on Hubaleks work bench when he died. It had never been completed only the barrel fit to the action. I bought it from Gary Quinlan some time ago who bought it from a retired physician that had worked in Hubaleks shop as a boy. Paul Shuttleworth finished up the extractor for me and Mike Jennings did an amazing job on the wood. It is marked A Hubalek "Special." The triggers are of his make fitted to a single trigger block and the lock has been sped up a bit. Will take pictures of his work when I get a chance. I left the finish exactly as it came off the work bench. The bore is perfect, the triggers are scary and the gun locks up TIGHT. Will post more when I get it shooting. All the best,

Zack

That's some beautiful stock work! If it shoots as good as it looks you'll really have something.

Ballards may be weaker,
but they sure are neater!

It's gorgeous, and you've done the original maker a great service by finishing it up in this manner! Anyone would be proud to own it!
