Gunsmithing Barrel Shank Dimensions

[MarinePMI]

I ran across this scanned pdf I made of the barrel shank dimensions book/handout from Trinidad School of Trades circa 1987.

I figured there were enough collectors and such (like @sirhrmechanic and others) that they may find it useful or as a handy reference.

Good info, just used it last week on a 1940’s Turkish Mauser.

Thanks. Just got a Mauser 98 so this is very interesting.

If you got a Mauser that has already been modified this will come in handy. If in original condition, I hope you keep it as is for the historical value.

It was turned into a 30-06. Wish they didn’t but it’s in great shape and has family history. I have been grabbing as much info as I can on it to start a file to hand it down to my daughter some day.
