Superb gunmaking at its absolute best!
13/05/16 01:23 AM

Now gentlemen, please do not rush orders for restocking of Mauser 98's to me, I can only do work of this quality about once every thirty years ...

Very rough attempt to put together a .30-06 for a sambar hunt for a friend way back around 1987 or 1988. A friend and I were going sambar hunting in the Big River Forest area in Victoria and he did not have a rifle suitable to use. I had purchased a Mauser 98 barrelled action about six years earlier chambered in .30-06 for the princely sum of $100. For a future custom rifle project. Still have it for that purpose. Anyway it needed a stock to be used so acquired a stock for $5 inlet for a Lithgow 7.62 single shot target rifle and used a heap of epoxy to make it fit and fill in the gaps. And the stock was for a lefty at that.

Superb result I hope you all agree! Well it worked and shot and was able to be used for that one hunt.

But the original purpose for the action still applies. A future custom rifle project. I am wondering if this action would be suitable for my never ending story of a .318 Westley Richards "Tiger" project.

The barrel is currently chambered for .30-06 and is engraved with a motif and "Ejercito de Columbia". I believe it was a Columbian Police rifle. I assume it was rechambered in 1952.

Would this action be suitable for a custom rifle project?

How does one determine when the action was made, assuming it wasn't in 1952?

Any comments? Thanks.
