  1. Hello all, I have a few bolts I need bent ot welded. Do you all have any recomendations for someone who does this? I have three 98 style and one 96 Swedish bolt that i need done. Thanks for any recomendations. C-
  2. Sorry, the term was dysgenics. I tried to copy and paste the def. but its not working...I don't understand this site.
  3. Thanks guys. Yes I measured both the extractor and the lug, the lug was closest. I also believe the chamber issue shouldn't be a big deal, just going to go slow. Piecing various parts from different rifles together is interesting to say the least. At least I'm learning alot. Thanks again.
  4. Ok all, I just re-measured the receiver. From the face to the highest point on the bolt lug is .618". Current barrel shank is .634" , so... .618" - .005" for clearance = .613 overall. and... The barrel shank is .634" - 613" = .021" to trim. Sound right? The chamber will be recut with a finish reamer. Thanks, C-
  5. Thanks for the replys. Wehad to put our dog down last night so it may be a bit before i get back on this. C-
  6. Thanks guys. First off the barrel is a take off from an older project that I stared a while back. It was attached to the spanish receiver from another posr. It had to be trimmed to fit that receiver. Alos, the swedish receiver I'm using now has been cleaned up. I guess I'll research the specs a little bit and then figure out what I need to take off but I guess it will have to go to a machine shop. Thanks again. C-
  7. Today I converted the rifle to cock on opening. It helps with feeding quite a bit. Next comes shaping a new extractor that will grip the cartridge base better. Should be fun.
  8. Hello guys, I am in search of advice. I am working on a Swedish mauser. The shank on the barrel I'm installing is too long. When screwed all the way in it locks up the bolt. I measured the shank and the distance from the receiver face to the highest point on the bolt. Allowing for .002 or .003 crush fit and .002 for bolt clearance I need to reove .020 from the barrel face. My question is, is there a way to take this off evenly without a lathe? Before I just start attacking the barrel with a file I was hoping to get some more ideas. Thanks for your ideas. c-
  9. What the #@%$. Why can't I upload a photo???
  10. Well, I had a spanish action that I just didn't feel good about so, I ordered a conversion kit and decided to turn it into a .45. I know, but it is so stupid it's awesome. It's also a blast to shoot. No recoil and big holes. It really blasts the crap out of beer cans. This franken mauser is a small ring, with a VZ24 rear sight and a 1903 front. She is still a work in progress and will end up with a different sight because neither of these are adjustable for windage. I am also planning to convert the bolt to cock on opening as it will make the feeding a bit easier. Hope you all enjoy the picture. Don't be too upset with me. This was all for fun. C-
  11. Check out the movie idiocracy. It's a parodyon the idea but it terrified my girlfriend. She's sure it is where we are headed. Instead of eugenics I believe they use the disgenics theory in the movie.
  12. Yeah, not a good idea. Years ago she was highly unimpressed with the dry ice and a coke bottle thing. I told her it was educational. We learned about in science class at school. Even that was small compared to the time she caught me throwing the old glass 1ltr. coke bottles full of gas into a bonfire. I was 5. I'm surprised she has managed to keep a grip on her sanity after all these years. Strong woman she is.
  13. Thanks for the info. I think I'm back on track. The comments about pressures in the Sweed that I am building just got me to thinking. I mean I've talked to people who have loaded up hot pistol rounds that were beginning to show pressure signs and they were doing that at, I'm guessing, 25k psi. When I looked at things like that everything got a little fuzzy. Maybe they weren't true pressure signs but a manifestation of something else that is in handguns specifically. The reading I was doing on the interwebz made it sound like the signs of excess pressure appeared at different levels for different rifles. I.E. signs appear in a Rem. 700 at 65k psi. but it only takes 57k psi. to show up in a Mauser. That seemed wrong, and it was. Pressure is pressure as far as the receiver is concerned. Thanks again for the help. Maybe one of these days you all will get to see a picture of a rifle I actually complete. I'm getting close. C- P.S. I still giggle when I make things go Boom. I just prefer it to be more than 1/4" from my nose. Tannerite is awesome!
  14. Ok, I think I have a better idea about what I was asking. Thanks pacrat. What I conclude form this is that in a Swedish Mauser, with a properly sized chamber and good bolt, and a properly sized case and seated bullet, I should probably not ever see pressure signs if loading to the published data for the older actions. Even to max loads. Pressures signs don't seem to start showing on cases in properly sized rifles and components until pressures quite a bit beyond the max listed 50k to 52k are reached. Also, it is possible to have a load for a Swedish Mauser that shows no signs of excess pressure but is quite a bit beyond the "generally recommended" operating pressure of the action. Basically, I can over pressure the action before I over pressure the components in an older action like this. Thanks again. I think I have a clearer picture of this now. C-
