My apologies for digging this thread up from the achieves.
HARDLY "factory" but probably the only bolt gun in 35 Rem I've seen in a LOT of years ......so I contacted a buddy......we hashed it over.....and it should arrive in another week or so.
I am curious to see how loads work out in it.
Small ring mauser, bolt, safety, trigger work supposedly done.
19 inch lightweight barrel
35 Rem
Butt plate, no stinking butt pad (I hate butt pads!!)
Trimmed to 1.8 its legal for deer here and while NOT great on the chamber/neck it wont get shot much that way. All workup loads can be shot full length then double check with the trimmed neck to make sure POI is the same but doubt more than 5 rounds a year get shot in it in the short form.......IF I have anything to say about it.
Just sharing........I might be back for ***********HELP*********** since I know diddly about Mauser actions except a **** load of guys like em. Not sure yet if its a 96 or......????. I CAN say I've always wanted to get my hands on a couple to see what the big hoo-rah was about them.
No more than we paid for it, it wont be a biggie doing some work if needed........as long as it IS correctable.
Pig in a Poke Purchase.......but I think it's COOL. Obviously built as a "lightweight" carry rifle. Should be a winner for the ranges intended. Indiana has a bunch of those ranges.
Taking donations in 35 Rem brass and dies..... (dang I just SOLD all that stuff last year.)
God Bless
