[carbine86]

Does anyone know where I might be able to find a complete action for a mini Mauser in 7.62x39. Gotta special project I want to try out.

I haven't but I'm hoping someone has ID rather not have to pull a barrel and have it sitting around.

I ordered just an action in the early 90's (Interarms Mini Mauser) at that time I believe Brownells sold them as well.

I was going to make an XP-100 style pistol but it eventually ended up as a 17-222 rifle.

buy the rifle. Pull the barrel and stock and sell them off to recover some of the costs

I have found it generally cheaper to buy a complete firearm, and salvage the action. For some reason people think an action is worth more than a rifle.

How True, How True! I have `bumped` into that same thinking.Robert

You can buy cz 527 actions in 7.62x39. They are on gunbroker and I believe buds guns has them.

Anybody have experience with that Zastava rifle? The cost sure is nice.....

Just buy a 223 savage rifle and re-barrel.

You will also have to replace the bolt head or open the 223 one up to use the 7.62 , I think you can buy a bolt head from , Midway or brownells

The issue is I am not doing a 7.62 build I am doing something else and the case head is close enough that I can get away with only minor changes.

The Interarms Mark X, Charles Daly, Remington 799s (and full-sized 798s), and now Zastava minis are generally nicely finished metal (although usually kinda stiff working as new) that could use better stocks, although the supplied wood is serviceable.
They normally shoot pretty well as is, and quite a few shoot really well with good handloads.
They're light and handy, but the latest stocks could stand to shed even more weight... They're pretty boxy and unattractive as issued, but the wood appears worth whittling on to better match the slender barrelled action.

Good luck on your project.
I want to barrel a CZ 527 action in .357 Maximum or Magnum.
The 7.62x39 bolt face will work perfectly

That's the exact project I'm looking to do with it. If I get to it before you do I'll let you know how it works out

Buds gun shop. $341

The cz is a much nicer action IMO.

I've got three mini-mauser actions, one in each BF size. Probably never going to get round to finishing them all. PM if interested. The .223 one is fitted with a Rem take-off .223 barrel, Model 70 style safety, and has a Timney trigger instead of the stock one. Still needs a little finishing work.

I know it's kinda an old thread, but why not just buy a ruger 77/357? It already has the 3 position safety and its in stainless.

Looking to make a repeater. Reaming out the 77 would still make it a single shot for the max

Did you ever hear of the carcano rifle? Makes a neat small 7.62x39 rifle.

Unfortunately the bolt face would need more work to do what I want unlike the Mauser bolt.
