"Rigby-ish" Mauser Project
#294177 - 23/01/17 07:58 AM

It's been awhile, but it would appear that my Mauser is finally in the home stretch. Built on a 1900 Danzig action in 275 Rigby, the goal has been to keep the look and feel as close to a classic Rigby as is feasible.

Here's some recent photos of the stockwork.

Donor action ...

Looks like good work. All my attempts at checkering have ended in dismal failure. Attempting to make a stock from a full on blank and not a pre-inletted is quite the challenge. Do you plan to stone the roll stamp and inspection markings from the receiver ring? I'm probably stating something you already know but the action when installed in the stock should have a small gap between the magazine and the receiver all the way around, they are not meant to meet up.

What, if anything, do you plan to do with the "craters" on the left side of the receiver ring, below the stock line? I ask, because I have the same situation with a much abused Mauser Kurz barreled action, which was apparently buried and then dug up at a later date, after the stock was beyond recovery.

While I wish I was the craftsman, alas, I am not. The gunsmith leading the project is Bill Jacobs of Bolt & Barrel. The pitting should be under the wood line, so we're good.

How many lines per inch are you using to cut the checkering? Does anyone know if factory rifles have a set standard for the number of lines per inch?

Thanks.
