Next Mauser project starting slowly....
|
As some of you knows, I have one 9,3x64 m98 Mauser made from m640 (or m246, not exactly sure) Husqvarna. For a long time I have been thinking to built an another Mauser still so I bought one FN made SAKO-Mauser Civil action from one forum member. As here quite usual, it had APEL type sidemount for scope. I dismounted it and local retired gunsmith plugged those holes (not perfect as you`ll see) and made new 17 mm bases for normal mounts. I bought unused Zastava (.30-06 lenght) magazine and SAKO trigger with cocking piece from eGun. The unfinished stock is from germany too. The caliber will be 7x64 but the barrel still missing....
As mentioned, those plugs are not so nice but I think they`ll just go unvisible under the wood.
The side safety wing is still missing but IŽll make some modifications and attach it later.
I like the stock quite much, it costs only 200 which IMO is cheap price for a such a nice wood
