DAMN! thought those looked cool. guess thats where the saying comes from. if it seems too good...i probably is. thanks for the heads up.

i know how to get the barrel off. gonna try this barrel and some good ammo first. cleaning the hell out of it. put it back together. shoot it at 50, then at 100. if still not good.... off with the barrel. and off to the local smith for him to take it off. lol. unless i make the reciever wrench and barrel vice myself. have you guys seen the 45acp conversion for these? i think i like it. what do you think? http://www.troupsystems.com/MAUSER/mauser_conversions.htm

AHHHHH! i see. i think that is exactily what i needed to hear. history to the madness. thanks! like i said before....YOU GUYS ARE SERIOUSLY BRILLIANT! the info i had gotten from you guys is much appreciated and is sinking in.

its kind of starting to make sense now. i broke down the whole gun tonight and it is soaking. after this is all cleaned up. is there any kind of lube or anti-seize that i should put it together with?

so If i was to buy a new barrel i would buy a large ring barrel? the words are decieving. i got a reply the other day about barrels, and was linked to these. they sound similar to each other, but are they different? confused, again. LOL http://www.sporterex...anufacturers_id http://www.midwayusa...ctNumber=468773

that is kinda decieving.... so IF i was to buy a new barrel. i would order a .....?? large ring barrel. ? confused, again. lol if you look back on 2 of the replies i got about a 6.5x55 barrel,aren't they different. no? sorry if i am not understanding. would it not just be called a large ring barrel with "fine threads"? i was linked to these. http://www.sporterex...anufacturers_id http://www.midwayusa...ctNumber=468773

i just ordered my head space gauges and a reamer. as soon as i get it i will be on here looking for more advice. thanks guys! still trying to figure out if my Turk is a small or large ring. how can you tell? i only ordered the "go" and "no-go" gauges. do i need the field gauge, also?

Brilliant! you guys are brilliant with this stuff. i have some work ahead of me. does Cabela's sell those tools or do i need to get them from where you told me.

my head is really spinning now. so much info in short time. awesome!!! i am digging this more and more every time i look on here. do you think the fact that the barrel is cut down so short that it has an effect on the accuracy? i am gonna clean the hell out of this in and out. then i will get some gauges and all that stuff. i am liking the swedish barrel but need to do all the gauge and head space things to that too. right? i will try this one first then if all fails go to the 6.5x55. btw what does in the white mean? bare steel? does it need to be blued? can you powder coat it?

oh duh. sorry. i live in east norrtion. its about 30 mins outside of philly and around the same from quakertown. btw what are these reamers and gauges i am seeing all about. what are they? how do i use them? where do i get them? if i put on a 6.5x55 barrel what kind do i get? a new one? or an old one? i do not mind spending some $$. i want to use this for deer hunting. not scared of the 8mm recoil but want something that looks cool and dependable. if that makes sense.

thanks so much for all the input.... oh god. head is spinnng. it was cut down like 11 inches. the overall barrel length is around 19 1/4 inches. it was chamford and looks good. but shot remington thru it and can not hit a barn as said. head space?? what the heck?? i had some milatary issue shells but not sure what they were. those shot ok, i guess. is there a difference? i want to make this work and use it deer hunting. i have 2 30-40 Krag which can drive nails at 100, and want this to shoot as well as those do. seriously need help. teach me....yoda. lol i guess i should soak this thing?? and clean it till next week. how do i know a small ring from a large ring?

new guy here.....i have a Turkish M1938 8mm mauser. it is somewhat sporterized and i think it needs a new barrel. it was cut down from its original length and shoots horribly. any ideas? new/used barrel? 6.5x55? another 8mm? prefer the 8. I DUNNO WHAT TO DO. HELP!
