I'm really considering re-bluing it, as someone has taken some steel wool to it it appears. hell of a collector and i will def. be shooting it as well. http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a314/owndjoo/mauserleft.jpg http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a314/owndjoo/mauserright.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not have his contact info still. KillJoy Thought his name was Jim, but he did a .308 barrel conversion on a K98 and does excellent work on the cheap. Great guy.

Yup... he did the SAME on mine! He installed a Remington 700 Heavy Take-Off Barrel on a Turk Mauser (Small Ring) in .308. He reblued it, some Safety Work and installed a Timney Trigger. The thing holds about 1/2" at 100 yards w/ handloads! :thumbup: KillJoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owndjoo Posted August 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 how much was the reblue? i'm going to have him do a complete once over on it and then hot blue the whole thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillJoy Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 how much was the reblue? i'm going to have him do a complete once over on it and then hot blue the whole thing. Everything he did was either $150 or $300. I honestly cannot remember at this point. I THINK it was $300.... KillJoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owndjoo Posted August 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 sweet. Hopefully it doesn't need any work other than the re-bluing. found rounds for 14.95 per 50rd box. this thing is gonna be fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
