Oh, and I don't think money will part me and the 8mm.
Less we can't eat. And I haven't missed a meal lately.
Thanks for the info
did he turn the handle down? or is that original?

Nazi eagle on the barrel, numbers on scope mounts match barrel and action. (rifle above)
What made me start looking at sporterizing, was the Argie.
Granddad ran a machine shop in Waco Texas. I think he tuned out the argie mounts out over a lunch break with time to spare.
I've got two boys. They have single shot 20ga, they will need autos or O/U, and deer rifles. when you need two or three of everything you start to look for resources.
I weld and do woodworking. This is a good place for me.
So, the Argie will need some dressing up.
here are the mounts.
Also like to stop by the pawn shops now and then, So I might need to edjumacate myself about mausers.

Thanks, I think they did it in the early 60's. Grand dad loaned it to me to hunt with back in collage. There both gone now, and I wish I had gotten the story on the rebuild.
My cousin has an unmolested, 8mm semi auto. From the same uncle.
I've also got an argentine 7.65 that he put a scope on. I guess I need to check the accuracy before I start doing anything to it.

Great uncle sent this gun to grand dad near the end of the war. He and my dad put the stock on it. I am quite sure the scope is original.
Did he jewel the bolt?
Did he taper the barrel?
Did he change the handle on the bolt?
Don't flame him to bad, we lost alot of folks over there and his generation did not think of the historical value.
