A friend just picked up this Egyptian Mauser action and barrel. Bolt and action are matching SN. The barrel is just threaded on by hand and when tight the sights are on the bottom, or 180* off. Hmm...
By the photos below what can the group tell us about this Mauser?
What he'd like is a .308/7.62x51 barrel (with or without sights) and a stock. He's not interested in 8mm.
So what are the groups suggestions and/or advice?
