Some time ago I talked about a custom M98 rifle project. When I put up photos of the action I have it was suggested it was too pitted to be worthwhile.

So now I am wondering, how about an ugly BLACK rifle using that action instead?

The stepped barrel is already .30-06, so the calibre choice is fine.

Archangle makes these "tactical" stocks for the Mauser K98 in 8x57. Claims they will fit some other Mauser actions. Mine is a Colombian FN Mauser.
I will email them to ask if it will fit.

These stocks also come with a ten shot magazine. Somehow the stock feeds the magazine into the mauser action (?).

Just a project, quite cheap, as a bit of a plaything and to make use of the barrelled action.
Add a new Timney trigger, a bipod, and do something about getting a scope on it.

What do you think? Should I give up classic rifles and join the tactical brigade?
