and then install and chamber the barrel for just about any caliber you can dream up.īuilding your own custom mauser is not something a beginner should try.Īlso what mauser action are you going to build off of (hopefully not a turk as they are bottom of the barrel for mausers). They make excellent barrels and can do all the accurizing for you (like lapping the lugs, bolt face, blueprinting the receiver, chasing the threads, installing a new safetey, trigger, bending the bolt handle etc. Just send the old barreled action to krieger. Just that I see no point in jumping onto another person for "desecrating" what very well may be the most common rifle ever produced. That's not to say I fault anyone for keeping a milsurp in original condition - I've got several that way myself. Save the collectible tag for things that are actually rare. There's a reason they're so cheap, and it ain't because they're rare collectibles.
The made MILLIONS of Mausers and Mosin Nagants. The simple fact is that for most of the imported types they make a metric ton of them. Which do you think they made more of: the Remington 722 or the Mauser 98? Some really, really fine condition, all matching examples might be collectible, but when talking about the crates and crates of surplus rifles imported, even the "good ones" will barely pull the same price as any used commercial sporter action, and most of those commercial rifles are far more rare. Not that I don't enjoy my trips to the range, but if I don't have a project gun to work with then I'm bored.Īs to most "collectible" Mausers - the value is misplaced (and the monetary value barely exists). I'll admit that I have more fun working with guns than I do shooting them. That's true (sometimes - if you're thrifty you scan still come out a tad cheaper), but a lot of times people don't want a Savage or Remington.
I don't see the point in paying a gunsmith to do a bare bones shelf parts sporterization like you describe. Quote: Cheaper to buy a Savage or Remington unless you are going to do all the work yourself. There is no such thing as a drop in barrel. Weight won't matter much since you're not going to do much off hand shooting with a thumbhole stock anyway. You can get a low scope safety to replace it. A new bolt handle doesn't cost much and the cost to have it welded on shouldn't be too bad. I have yet to see a rebent bolt that looked nice plus they're really too short. Having the bolt handle rebent is also not a good idea. Yeah, they make mounts to work with it but trust me I've been there, done that. Speaking of mounts you get a better fit on the rear if you grind off the stripper clip hump. Like 44 amp said tho they just look better but the mounts are steel and are blued and the paint won't flake off like aluminum Weaver mounts.
