This is my second hauck on a Storie action casting.The first followed the original Hauck design whereas this one made several departures.

1. Mann Niedner firing pin.
2. Rebounding hammer including block modification.
3. The development of a loading position.
4. Greatly improved disassembly.
5. 9 o'clock extractor.
6. Redesign of the lever spring system; smoother operation.

I am a bit sorry about that large SWFA scope. It is my choice for accuracy but just does not look right. I will use it to ring out accuracy and then replace with an older 10x Weaver, I think.

I wish that all problems could be measured in inches. I understand inches. Delving into the workings of internet; not so much. Can you see the above image?

Here is a storie casting gibbs in 30-30 I am just finishing after 25 years. I added a through bolt to the butt stock. So far I have resisted the urge to put in a transfer to deal with that up hill firing pin! I would love to put a lyman alaskan on it and bust a whitetail!

Yes, the Gibbs was designed as a hunting firearm and the Hauck as a 'bench gun' for extreme accuracy. They are very different. Wilber Hauck later tried several things to make his action more acceptable as a hunter. It did not work out too well mainly because the action is rather large for field use. It, however, is a wonderful varmint action!
