Problem is it is missing all the rear sight...

I wacked off about 6" of barrel cut a new thread.
Large ring Mauser threads are nominally 1.1"-12
Ruger No.1 threads are all nominally1.0"-16
You will need to whack the shank to fit the ruger...

Apparently the round is considered a proprietary cambering, and the reamer redily available form PTG Reamers is actually reverse engineered from a cut chamber...........
According to a bunch of...

Just out of curiosity, which brand of chamber reamer did you use? There seems to be some silliness floating around on that topic.......

Very nicely done, I am doing a pair myself in the same caliber on Spanish Mauser Receivers with the same purpose in mind!! I found the polymer mags to be a pain in all my feed testing and I have...

Made up a receiver mandrel to face the receiver ring. Now that the action is actually operable, its time to blueprint the action and get the rifle chambered. The first step is facing the receiver...

I really like this rifle, the stock is real slick and if I didnt already have a lightweight carbine, I would build this......... Just cause I like it! I live in Texas and can own whatever I like. I...

Larry, a rundown of what's happening and what is needed to make them feed reliably would be very useful, I would much prefer to use pistol mags if possible.......... Tommy gun mags are stupidly...

Well, as it turns out the magazine is going to be a serious problem. I had originally planned to use springfield xd 45 magazines but that won't fly....... For the same reason that the Rhineland arms...

Next up was fitting and contouring the barrel. The green mountain blank I purchased came in at about 1.26" OD and cleaned up to 1.25 quite nicely for the shank. Contouring the rest took a while and I...

I made up a sleeve from a piece of hardware store brass pipe. This sleeve served two proposes. 1) I made the sleeve a tight fit to the ID of my bolt body to aid in the alignment. 2) Allowed me to...
