  1. I got one from AIM when they first came in. Mine is a nice refinished rifle with some stock repair. I bought the rifle for my collection but its a nice shooter. Much more accurate then my rack grade 98's
  2. I got the rear sight off last night with a propane torch and a mallet. But, I am having a problem getting the screw out of the front sight post. Should I drill it or heat it and tap it with a hammer and then drill if needed? Also, if I decide to keep the original barrel (is bright and shiny) how do I fill the holes that the screws left in the barrel? And, is there a guide anyone knows of that I can use to turn the barrel down to a F34 contour? Rob

  6. Is there a tutorial out there for sporterizing a x98 Mauser? Also, I have several choices to do my first build. Which is the easiest and makes the best rifle? I have these at home ready to go: German k98k Yugo M48 Yugo M24/47 Should I stick with the 8mm barrel and retaper or buy a new one? Which caliber(s) will let me keep the existing bolt? Who does bolt handle work on this site? I started to disassemble the k98k but am unsure of how to get the front and rear sight bases off, heat? Thanks for the help RD
  7. Are you kidding! She would make an excellent president! in a small african country. I just want to see Bill be the First lady again! Cigar's anyone?
  8. LMAO I went to a site like that. The top in BOLD letters, STICKY, DO NOT POST ANY QUESTIONS OR MATERIAL IN REGARDS TO SPORTERIZING! I was like, dang. Ill move on now. And this was on a Mosin-Nagant site. Hmmm, lets see. You get offended when I cut up a $35 rifle that companies are all but giving away.
  9. DITTO. I used to build furniture for a company in NC when I was in college. I cut alot of wood and NEVER EVER broke a blade even after cutting thru metal. I would dull the teeth, but never broke or shatter anything. This is a good example of why we wear saftey glasses in a shop.
