Desirable Clayton N. Nelson Custom Bolt Action FN Model 98 Sporting Rifle in 9.3 X 62mm

Beautiful custom rifle built by Clayton N. Nelson in the very powerful 9.3 X 62 caliber, which can handle African as well as any North American game animal. Clayton Nelson is an adjutant instructor at the Trinidad School Of Gunsmithing and an NRA stock making instructor. His expertise is in advance stock making/inletting as well as being an accomplished metal smith. In one word his work is just fabulous! This rifle was built on an excellent, post war Belgian FN action, that has been fitted with a fabulous custom barrel, that is tapered, with a half-round and half-octagon contour with a "full length", milled, integral barrel rib with a Mauser style front sight ramp that is also integral into the barrel rib. Built just like the prewar Mauser rifle barrel were made. The rear of the rib is fitted with a two leaf rear sight; one standing and one folding. The top of the rib is marked "CLAYTON N. NELSON CUSTOM RIFLEMAKER", with the left, rear barrel flat marked "9.3x62 mm". The top of the receiver has been fitted with a set of Leupold type scope bases. The bolt body have been jeweled and the bolt handle has been hand-checkered in a "FIVE" separate heart shaped panels with scalloped edges. The bolt shroud has also been converted to a M70 side swing safety. It has a one-piece trigger guard with a hinged floor plate. The rifle has been stocked in a absolutely beautiful extra fancy English walnut with a multi-point, fine 22-24 line hand checkering in the pistol grip and forend areas. The stock has an ebony forend tip, with a plain steel grip cap and a black Decelerator recoil pad.

ConditionExcellent as professionally built with 98% rust blued finish overall with just very minor edge and high spot wear. The stock is excellent with a low luster, hand rubbed finish with a couple of minor handling marks. The checkering is handling marks. The checkering is excellent, crisp and sharp overall. Mechanically excellent. Just another beautiful rifle, waiting for the chance to go on a hunting trip!
