topmaul 42 Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 I plan to take a surplus Mauser and make my tactical bolt gun on that platform. Most Likely on a .308 barrel Midway USA has all kinds of Mauser parts this wil be a fun learning process IPSC Guy thanks for remineding me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

philg80 1 Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Instead of using a surplus mauser to start your build, why not get a mauser action that is being made new production. Charles Daly was importing them brand new for around $100 or so just a couple years ago. It is always nice to start a build without getting pissed off taking something apart.

6500rpm 670 Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 (edited) surplusrifle.com had a good write up on a Mauser action build up. A simple search should probably pull it up. I was able to apply a lot of the basics used on the Mauser project on a Ishapore Enfield build with quite a bit of success. Good luck, sounds like a fun project.
