i want to get it bead blasted if i can find a place to get it done cheap. Originally Posted By: youngsmithi plan to get the reciever refinished. I mean the rifle was only a couple hundred bucks.

I really didn't think it was anything crazy nice of a rifle. Shoot me a PM if you have any interest in the stuff. When you put good ammo through them, a lot of those old "junk" mausers will shoot surprisingly well.

I have an arsenal refinished VZ24 that needs a new home, looks nice, shoots well, and would make a very nice donor action.ĭo you reload? I'm getting out of 8x57 altogether, I'll make you a deal on components and 8x57 dies, including a neck and full length sizer. Sounds like a very nice rifle that you probably don't want to touch. Oh and I can't seem to find that 8mm wolf ammo anywhere?
It still has really really nice German Nazi markings on it.

The only Russian markings on it are the new serial numbers etched in a couple different areas on the rifle.

Here's a shot of one of my safety installs from the rear it should give you an idea of what's involved in machining the shroud.

It's quite a bit of time to get even the 2 positions operating to a level of smoothness that's accetpable for a customer, which is why most gunsmiths charge so much.įor the Mauser safeties I usually install a Chapman, and I have used both Wisner's and Chapman for the 03s. It requires extensive machining of the shroud, and in the case of the springfield, silver soldering a half-plug into the plunger tube up top. I've not done one of the 3 position installs (though I have fitted a Recknagel shroud with safety), but I have done a number of the 2 position installs on both Springfields and Mausers. if anyone knows any good deals on mauser threaded barrels in. 3 moa)? they are the lowest cost prethreaded barrels i can find. Shaw barrels? better than what ive heard of Adams and Bennett (ive heard as low as. i cant remember exactly where i read it but im pretty sure Brownells had somethin on one of the product pages. I cant find any videos or anything but ive read that it involves drillin on the bolt shroud. all the gunsmiths want like $200 plus the safety. cant find anything about installing one though. I have been wanting a win type safety on atleast one of them. 458 win mag, and a CZ brno commercial for an ultralight 30-06) and a US1917 for a.
