New project Mauser

[Ajohns]

I'm no pro by any means. But I like to tinker. And a lot of the info on this forum sure has helped me along, so I thank you all.
I've done a few of these now so I'm kinda getting used to them. But you never soak it all up.
1895 Chilien with a McGowen barrel to 22" in 35 Remington.
Ebay stock and Timney trigger. It's ready now, so I have to start shooting soon to be ready for deer season.



Hope you like it, thanks.

Good caliber for the 95 Mauser. Nice stock profile.

I like the caliber and the profile of the stock, especially the shorter forend. I do all mine that way. Very nice work, keep it up. james

Thanks guys. I hope it shoots good

Looks good, Ajohns. .35 Rem. is a good choice.

Great looking rifle! You did a fantastic job on it!

From a getting to be old guy, "OLD SCHOOL" clean lined Mauser's are always appreciated. Nice job!

That will make a real handy deer rifle. I love the 1895 Chilean: it's my favorite of the small ring Mauser actions.

[Ajohns]

I do too. But I really can't say any different as I have only used those. This will be #3 now.
257 Roberts (barreled the action and minor start on the stock)
35 Remington (this one)
450 Bushmaster (in the works)

Nice rig, now go make meat with it.

Nice job! 35 Rem, COOL!

I love it. The rifle. The cartridge.
But that's too much scope....

Very too much scope.
I might change later to an old school weaver K4. This one was really for getting the bolt handle sculpted enough for ocular clearance. The other scopes I have I needed extension rings, and to me that's worse.

Looks nice. You should be happy with your work.
I have done a few M98s & R700s, and one Steyr M95, over the years, and used to like 24" barrels, but now find 20" (or a smidge less) very nice as well. They don't give up much, and don't snag onto much of anything.
Have fun, shoot some deer or whatever you have a tag for.

Here's one of it with an old K4 Weaver mounted to it. Style looks about right.

That looks great. My 93 30-30 also wears a Weaver K4.
My first custom Mauser(by me) was a Siamese Mauser with a McGowan barrel in 30-40 Krag. I did a lot of the work in high school VoAg shop. In the 1970's it was no big deal to bring a gun to school. "Leave it in your truck"- said the Superintendent.
