Re: New made Mausers?

What has happened is that due to the complexity of the design they cannot be made for the $600-700 that Savremchester sell their guns for.
The largest consumer nationaly of guns buys their firearms very much on price.
I was thinking something more in line with Blaser prices - more of a high end gun, but for your couple of grand you'd get a complete gun and not just an action...

It takes over 700 seperate machining actions to produce a true Mauser action, it is written in a well regarded book on the guns that over 700 dedicated machines were used in its manufacture.
A Rem 700 for example can be made on a lathe and a milling machine only.

Even the current winchester guns get around this a bit with modern machinery. But I guess the start up costs would be a bit much for someone to take a risk on in the current market.
