Hi to all,

My gunsmith in Idaho stopped working due to health problems, he made several great projects for me.

I have a couple of projects that I would like done, a Mauser 98 action with a Sarco Swedish 8mm bull barrel, a Mauser 93 action (Brazil) to rebarrel with a Chilean 7mm barrel and two Argentine Mauser 1891 actions to rebarrel with un-issued carbine length 6.5x55 Swedish Mauser barrels.

If you know of a good gunsmith in the area or of another one out of state that would take work, would appreciate your help.

Regards

Does anyone know if there is a difference in weight between an Adams & Bennett barrel and a Commercial Mauser barrel, given the same caliber? A&B barrels are heavier at the muzzle, but have a shorter chamber area.

I am considering building up a 458 Win Mag, and was considering using an A&B barrel. However, I found a commercial barrel for less money. But if the Interarms/CD/Rem 798 profile is much lighter than tha of the A&B barrels, I don't think I will want it. I don't want to beat myself do death. I already know it will be a thumper, and I don't want to make it worse.

Right now my only choice is to pull a barrel off an already built rifle and weigh it, for the commercial barrel weight. I have a spare 30-06 A&B barrel laying around.

Depends on the contour that you choose a sporter is thinner than a bull barrel or a bench rest barel

You can go to their web site and see the measurements of the different contours and get an idea

which one will be heavier
