That's the load my buddy uses. Same gun too. Works great!

Better measure your firing pin and get the vendor to verify the specifics to you prior to purchase. I've seen the same length firing pins but different spacing on the other end so that sears...

Don't let the blood, guts, ticks, fleas and weird smells bother you. Your forefathers hunted and did just fine. Oh, BTW, all the fun stops when you pull the trigger and you have a dead limp critter...

The Lee C324-175-1R for the money is probably the most economical way the get a couple of Kar98s shooting lead. The Lyman 323470 is 10 grains lighter, however four times the price. Outpost's...
13 grains of Red Dot w/o filler. Unique tends to shoot a foot low in my experience.

Can't beat that kind of accuracy. You found the sweet spot! Joy

Truth! Those rifles showed some real craftsmanship. No "Tupperware" stocks nor spot welds on sheet metal stamping on some military weapons like today...

I'd venture to say the the 7.62x39 is catching up. Man's got to feed his family and the AK is prevalent throughout the world.

Gewehr 1888s Commission rifles are "split bridge", but NOT Mausers....

7x57 elephant gun! When you get tired of that you can re-chamber to 280 Remington. The magazine will need to be lengthened and the feed ramp opened up a bit as well. (You might not ever get tired...

Congrats. All of your hard work paid off.

Lags,
That's beautiful work. I have not attempted the hinged floor plate. It is a definite improvement from the original mil-spec design.

Lags,
I like the look too. I've often thought about purchasing an extend trench mag, because they do look cool. But the 98 Mauser is so well balanced with the original internal magazine. One...

Jim,
The barrel guards will be different on the VZ-24 and German 98s. The VZ-24s have a metal "c" clip that holds them to the barrel. The guard starts at the action. The German rifles have a...

Tinhorn,
You might experiment with the front sight hood. With the right sized rear aperture peep, the front...

I agree, however with that much H4831 powder, I'd rather load j-words..... (Is that heresy?)

Larry,
I see lots of Redfield and Leupold 96 Mauser scope bases currently for sale, but not 93/95 Mauser scope bases advertised. Will a 96 Mauser scope base fit on a 93 or 95 Mauser being that...

That Noe 358009 in 35 Krag will probably stop anything you point it at. The melplate is impressive. Great hog; must need a fork lift to move it! Congrats!

I'd guess it's from a French MAS. But if 7.62x51 is too long, I'm wrong. Those are cartridges are 7.5x54. I give up.....

Chambering up 7.7mm '06 and 8mm'06 were a lot after WWII to war trophies when 30'06 ammo was readily available (and until the bolt surplus rifles dried up and or factory rifles became plentiful.) ...

Good Cheer,
I like the classic STD Leupold Scope mounts and rings. However, that would entail a bolt bend or re-weld to a low profile and drilling and tapping the receiver and a safety rethink. ...

I think that the vz-24 were well built rifles. I've seen some that were pretty beat up in a past life. As a donor platform you have a good start, if a .312"x 308 Win boolit gun isn't in your plans....
