It costs $60 and so the weight savings is ~ $12/ ounce. PAWS Aluminum bottom metal for Mausers weighs 3.5 ounces, as opposed to 8.625 ounces for typical steel bottom metal. Not only does it save you the painful process of lengthening the inside of magazine boxes from 8mm cartridge length to 300WM cartridge length, but it saves weight. Make dummy cartridge with pointed tips, not round tips, to check feeding.Ĥ) Did I mention PAWS bottom metal from Brownells? Go very slowly with carbide and it can be done without breaking the tool.ģ) Open the extractor tip for the bigger rim so that the cartridge not only fits, but feeds up from the magazine.

I could have quadrupled my money in five years had I left it alone.Ģ) Opening the bolt face to magnum is an interrupted cut in hardened steel. But, not the barrel.Īnd the one I still kick myself over is the Yugo M48-BO I sporterized. Any other odd works you've come up with? I've got a small ring Husqvarna in 9.3圆2 and a small ring Mexican 1910 (made in '33) that was sporterized but retained the 7mm chambering. Turk T-38's are another one that all of a sudden took a jump.

And, they are not selling at the prices they bought them for. Now, some guys who got too many are needing to sell them. It's a little of the phenomena I talked about in my last post, that buyers get convinced something is drying up and they buy it at whatever cost they see it at. I agree, in today's market, original VZ-24's for $100 is a good price. Yes, the bolt handles on VZ-24's were straight. Originally Posted By: biscuit_75Wow thats those r a stea!

Only go the Mauser route if you want the pride of doing it yourself, and bragging rights if you build a hammer out of an old warhorse. In the end you'll have just as much into it as you would a Rem 700 based stick, but without the resale value if you ever part with it. For the price, and the limited options in off the shelf high speed shit, Mausers are not an affordable option to build custom rifles. You can change up and once you face the front receiver ring just torque on the shoulder.Īnyway, I get to babbling. They torque down against an internal c ring. Now keep in mind that the LR mauser actions are not like modern actions where the barrel shoulder is torqued against the reciever face. But in the stock form it allows you to use Rem 700 take offs as the new major dia is just inside the rem's minor dia on the shank threads. This leaves plenty of meat if you're inclined to true the action and recut the threads. Large ring outer dimensions and strength, with a small ring thread shank barrel (.980-12TPI with 55 degree threads). I favor the Turk large ring/small ring actions.
