I've done that for a '96. Can't remember how much has to be pruned to make it work. The neck is shorter on the 308 and wider at the shoulder and it will clean up. If it's a lead shooter, there will...

LAGS, PM me and I'll work you through posting pics here. I think everyone would like to see!

PVA is what most pro's use in a production situation. In a spray, it gets into places your fingers, rag etc. can't.

brno, I believe we are having a conversation re set triggers over at AR? Anyway, thanks for the compliment. I'm NOT a smith but just a geezer fulfilling a childhood desire. I barreled this action...

Why leave (part of) the hump? Dunno, I just kinda liked the look. I've done several that way. The action at the bottom is a junker that someone did that to but you have to remove material on the side...

Started this long ago and finally got around to making a firing pin. It's a 1916 Spanish mauser, made in 1923, that had almost immeasurable setback. No thumb notch which is always a pleasure to see...

To riff on this: drill old holes the size of a stud that is oversized to be DRIVEN into it, Countersink a tad with the stud proud. Dance over with TIG, making sure to get a good fill around the...

This is true and what I would do. Be aware that welding up that big of a hole will likely collapse the ring a bit from shrinkage, or not. If it were mine, and not having a receiver tap, I'd do it...

We have a winner! That is exactly what I do with remarkable success. Also, working over a bath towel when in a 'small, small world.'

I finished milling on the 1916, added 1/4" spacer aft and it works great slow and rapid with full smooth extractor engagement. I did nothing to the lips except softening the milling with 100 cloth....

"It seems that there are no cut and dried follow the dots instructions on how to modify feeding rails."
And this is something that comes about from just nibbling away with a Dremel. Trial and...

OK, after realizing my floundering was going nowhere, I sat down with five actions and the cartridges they were designed for in order to study how they functioned. They ALL had one thing in common:...

[QUOTE=405grain;5337598]Adding vertical metal strips to the inside of the magazine will probably not improve feeding with a Mauser modified to shoot 308 Winchester. The reason that cartridges based...

Thanks all for the tips. After I wrote this plea and working some more, I came to the conclusion that a spacer was the next step because if I placed the carts exactly in the right place it worked....

Does anyone here have advice on modifying the rails on small ring mausers for .308 class cartridges? I've done my giggling and various forum's due diligence but find not. I spent the day hacking away...

Here are some more of LAG's pics I didn't take the time to upright them.

Lags, if you're inclined (or able) could you send them to me via email, and I will gladly size them and post them? If this works for you PM me and I'll give email address.

James, after reading your post I went out to the shop and fumbled around. You are absolutely correct - the pin protrusion is too shallow with that assembly. Excellent read. I should have understood...

Here is the difference I was talking about. It seems Chrome is not allowing the upload function to work but Edge will.

Yes. The 94 in is also longer at the pin end. This can all be fixed a lathe but why? I have fifteen 93 and four 94/96 cocking pieces. I did a run and just about all combos worked. Notice I said 'just...

All day long a 94/96 Swedish cocking piece will fit a 93,94,95 mauser firing pin. With the caveat that sometimes a 93 cocking piece won't fit a 93 firing pin! Also, as can be seen in pic, there are...

I'm a weldor by trade (retired) and I'm gonna buy one of these because I can't, in Alaska, make one for much less. Hell, it would cost 75 bucks just to have the parts pressed and my old eyes aren't...
