My newest mauser-Square Bridge
#159499 - 26/04/10 07:35 AM

This is my latest custom mauser. It is in 9.3x62. The stock work was by Jim Kobe, Square bridges from David Christman and I did the barrel work. It started as a Chinese contract Banner mauser.

Excellent looking rifle in a great calibre. I think i saw this over on AR. Love the english style classic open grip stock too.

I will have my QLD mates here in 4 weeks for a little fun and a lot of shooting. Myself and my Texas mates think the Aussies are Texans that just happened to live in Australia. We are looking for a great time.

Thanks for that Butch ,I am looking at square bridging the rear of my Gew 98,
unfortunately heat treating is not possible where I live so it will be soldered on I suppose.

Building a 9.3X62 is my latest project. Taking a much more pedestrian approach in that I'm using an Argentine Mauser, a 22" stainess heavy sporter contour barrel by Schneider, an old all-steel Lyman peep sight, no scope mounts, 6-shot drop magazine bottom metal by Blackburn and a McMillan CZ Express stock. Different from all the other Mausers I have I'm contemplating keeping the original safety, and trigger. The bolt handle shape will be as you have on yours. The finish is what I'm stuck on. All my other guns are either Black-T'd or have Roguard as a finish. This one I'm thinking of keeping the action/bolt in the white looking as on the original Argentine Mauser using some anti-corrosive finish such as Metaloy or electroless nickel, and having all the rest of the metal Black-T'd. However, something in the back of my mind tells me not to. Opinions would be welcome.

Re: My newest mauser-Square Bridge-more photos [Re: Handloader52]

I have a couple more photos of my 9.3.

It's funny, closeups sometime shows things that are not there.
I hoping to hurry up recovering from my back surgery inorder to work up some loads. I think it will be a whale of a hog rifle.
