been a long time since I was here

 

So I have a Mauser 98 action, I trued it, lapped the lugs, welded on a new bolt handle, drilled & taped it, mounted a Ken Ferrel steel mount, tapered the extractor for snap over and added a adjustable side safety trigger, the parkerized it.

 

going with a 6.5x55 f34 barrel tapper in 24 inch hunter with a boyds FWT stock?

haha FM - you love some nutty colors - have you thought about duracoating in one of their bloomberg specials? The co-op is still going - email mike. I'll be needing your 6.5x55 set pretty soon myself for my 96 project.

Just curious - why no FN style shroud when you have the boyd's side safety on there?

I like it!

Question though, how do you prevent parkerizing the bore? Plugs? Any problems with hot plug blowing out?

 

I've always used the rubber plugs they sell at lowes or HD - they work fine. I'll tap em in with a rubber mallet & usually have to take them out with a cork remover, but never had a leak. Obviously it's a one time use.
