Re: tactical mauser is almost headed home
That's pretty neat. Cool Concept to take an old rifle and use new technology to amp it up.

BigJoe,
Outstanding job! I have several 'accuracy' Mausers that I wish all looked and worked like this one will for ya. I hate to say it, but I'd thin the herd by 70% if I had one Mauser like yours.

Re: tactical mauser is almost headed home
that is an amaging transformation, very well done! I'd love to see a range report when you get a chance to take it out of the stable.

What a great looking stick...reminds me of a restomod muscle car...all the coolness of a vintage with modern shootability.
What scope to plan to top it with?
Looking forward to a range report.

Re: tactical mauser is almost headed home
I love what you did with that rifle but looking at the "before" picture I'm compelled to ask... What was the history on that rifle? Was it just a sporterized and scoped Military rifle? Or was it a "commercial" Mauser? Just curious...

Re: tactical mauser is almost headed home

it was sporterized years ago and the bluing was almost gone, there was some pitting on the bolt and in the barrel. the scope was a old artillery scope with custom rings made that could sight it in for 1 distance. I just wanted to make something that i could shoot and enjoy as well as pass down to my son with my own personal spin on it. So you get what you see. Plan is to engrave my grandfather and my initials on the bottom metal eventually or something like that and someday my son's.

Re: tactical mauser is almost headed home
What kind of base are you using? I have been looking for one, but cant find one, aside from having one custom milled out.
