Last Week I was reunited with an old friend my 1908/34 Brazilian Mauser.I know it's not a precession rifle,but for a mauser it shot pretty damn good. Chambered in 25-06 it was a great deer gun when I lived in PA,when I moved to NJ I just killed paper with it.Well the barrel went south 3 year ago and I was at a cross road on what I should do with it.Now I need to ask everyone reading this post a question.Ever get sentimental about a gun? I have been know to be,I still own many of my first guns. This Mauser just happend to become a testbed for home gunsmithing projects,some of came out good other didn't.
I decided the old gal deserved one final make-over. So I started gathering parts for a build. Special Thanks too-Tom Manner for building a GAT stock,JWIII for the 20 MOA scope base and machining the bump off the rear of the receiver,and finally Mark King of Mark King Rifles for doing the gunsmithing work. Mark has proven once again that <span style="font-style: italic">You can make a silk purse from a pigs ear</span>
I had planned on giving the rifle to my son on his 11th birthday,but I decided to give the rifle to him now.This is going to be his mid range "F' class rifle.Sometimes you just can't put a price on a childs joy.Rich
