Re-Barrel FN Mauser Action

[gasrat]

I recently required an old FN branded Mauser action. The action has been re-barreled for a 25-06 with a Shaw barrel. This rifle doesn't shoot as well as I would like it to. I was curious if anyone could provide any information about the possibility of anyone offering a prefit barrel for this action? I know nothing about Mauser actions. I've seen something online about big ring or something like that. Someone, at some time, has done a substantial amount of work on this rifle. It's had the Mauser type safety relocated to a Remington 700 style, Leupold bases and rings installed, and dropped into a B&C stock. It's a nice rifle as it sits, but with 3 to 4 MOA groups, that isn't up to par for me. Any information is appreciated.

Shilen does short chambered barrels for mausers for very reasonable prices. Not a true pre-fit though and you’d need a smith to headspace and install it.

Im not a Mauser geek so I don’t know if your variant has the same thread, someone here will know though.

You might check out Lothar Walther site, I'm not all that familiar with the FN Mauser compared to the 98 but it's a start.

You might do well to post this in the vintage rifles thread as well, they can probably get you some contact info for good Mauser smiths or parts suppliers.
