Wayne says : here are a couple pics of my 8mm i rechambered it to 8mm-06. hope you guys like it. it is a numbers matching k98 except the mag. floor plate and stock. the orignal barrel was turned down and reblued. it has a k. kahles wien 8 x 49 scope from the 1950's reworked bolt handle checkered on the bottom of the ball. a low scope saftey a jager adjusted to 2 lbs roll over monte carlo stock. trigger guard reworked and slimmed down and a muzzle brake. next project will be a tactical 22-250. on a brno action and a adams bennet 1 in 10 twist bull barrel.

Rick C's. (Big Paw Bullets) Submited a picture of two of his favorite Mausers. The bottom one is an 1871 infantry Mauser made in Bavaria. The top one is a converted 1871 rifle. The conversion was done in Germany. It was probably originally a Jaeger version of the same weapon. It now has set triggers, a 'sporter' sight and a re-done military stock, carved and checkered. I shoot the infantry one in black-powder military matches and I've hunted with the sporter, taking both deer and black bear. Both rifles are chambered for the 43 Mauser cartridge.I enjoy shooting both, as they are well balanced and accurate.

Andrew C. Says; this is a turk action that I cleaned up and slapped on a 6.5mm swede barrel on. It is in a Richards Grade AA fancy Claro Walnut Rollover. I jewelled the extractor, polished the cocking peice, smooothed out the shroud, and welded on a Brownells dog leg bolt handle. It sports a Bold trigger with side safety, a stronger firing spring, and I recontoured the triggergaurd. It has a vintage weaver 3-9 scope in redfield underscrew rings on a leupold base. I rust blued everything and checkered the stock with a psuedo fluer pattern. This was my first project.

Steve H. '' Eldora'' says; Here is a picture of my recently-completed Mauser project. It is built on a '30's Polish Radom action. If I had realized at the time how nice a specimen it was I probably would have looked for another donor rifle. I had E.R. Shaw true everything up, D/T for scope mounts, install new bolt handle, barrel to 7x57 and matte blue the whole thing because I have no tools or metal-working experience. The stock is from Richard's Micro-Fit. A modern classic design in AA English with ebony tip and cap. I did all the stock work work myself. The palm swell was removed, a recoil pad installed and a shadow-line created for the cheekpiece. I did the checkering, too. It was my first attempt, although I've re-cut several projects in the past. I installed recessed sling swivels. A Timney trigger/safety was used along with a floorplate from Numrich Arms. The triggerguard/floorplate was reshaped, thinned, sandblasted and blued by me. I made a bolt-jeweling jig per Steve Wagner's instructions . I then jeweled the bolt and magazine follower. It worked extremely well, I might add! This rifle is fully 'glass bedded with a pillar, also. A Bausch & Lomb Elite 3200 3x9x40 is mounted on Redfield bases and Leupold rings. Although it's a little heavy, initial testing indicates extremely good accuracy (about 3/4" with handloads) so far and minimal recoil. I can hardly wait to hunt with it!
