Reading this makes me want to puke.

Made me imagine the sound of a spent '06 round hitting the floor

going out empty because we don`t make stuff in the U.S. anymore

That was exactly my thought

Dang, Mike that looks great! 

Been just lurking here & its nice to see a familiar face

Here's the only small ring bolt i have on the bench

How long and what profile of barrel do you want?

Do you have the ability to re-thread a large ring?

Consider using minwax antique oil. You will get beautiful oil finish that is polymerized to make it more durable. 

That sure looks to be English walnut

Curious, Do both sites have a reamer co-op then?  I assumed it was the same......

My latest project is just getting started. A custom Mauser '98, based on a Greek FN action, going to be in .270 for my youngest son. He's 21 now so I'm running late.

 

 

Scott it is the same co-op 

The magazine fit securely in the guard. My only reason for selling it was after a year of searching,  I could not locate a spare magazine. 

Looks like the one I sold on Ebay last year

I talked to salvage33 and it is my understanding that the party responsible for paying the host is AWOL. The administrator is working on it and it will be up and running asap

That particular trigger guard is for the PH rifle built 98 Mauser action. It is clearly marked 98/124

• The second amendment!

I am shooting fmoderately low pressure 1/2 MOA loads in a couple of highly custom Husqvarna 96s. They both have re-contoured to sporter barrels.

One was a new 23 1/2" m38 replacement (2960 fps)and the other was a retired 25" Krieger F class barrel (3040 fps)

52gr. 4831SC has been the best powder in both with the lighter 130 accubond bullets. I use this weight as the biggest critter to kill here is whitetail and they are overkill for them.

The 'yote was dumb enough to follow my son in law who was bloodied from hunting the day before to his deer stand. When the sun came up he "rugged" him with the 6.5 AI.

Hello all. Its been a while since ive came around. Ive built a few guns the past two years, and have many unfinished projects to add to the list as well. I have a spare 98 action laying around that doesn't have a barrel yet and I could use some help.

 

I have been pondering the Ackley Improved cartridges for something diffrent as well as several standard chamberings. Needless to say, I'm lost as what chamber i need. All I know is I'm getting tired of recoil from the 30's and 7mm magnums.

 

Chamber choices have included 6.5-06 ackley, 6.5x55, 6mm-06, and the 7mm Mauser in AI or standard or a 280. I thought about 9.3x62 or 35 Whelen but its not pratical for me and the recoil may be a factor.

 

So far i have the following calibers: 243, 25-06, 30-06, 270, 8mm-06, 308, 7mm mag, 7mm STW, 338-06, 223, 7mm-08, 6.5x55 ( short barrel 96) 8mm mauser and 30-30.

 

Ive looked at the old standby (ER Shaw) but i would like to try Shilen. Lowthar Walther was on the list but a long chambered barrel isn't pratical for me as i don't have a lathe and I dont want to set it back with files.

 

Would the Shlien be short chambered enough to ream to AI if I go that route without having to set it back?

 

Just a lot to ponder. My biggest problem is I have so many chamberings that overlap performance wise. I love big belted magnums, but im getting to be a big wuss at the ripe old age of 25. Funny how prespective changes over time....

Lemski, there is something about those 6.5's isn't there. I really want the 6.5-06 AI but I just can't do it with having a 25-06 and .270. I hate being rational. I'm killing my gun budget with my most recent project, my cast bullet 7x57 build.

 

One of these days I'll get my act together.

Brenden,

My "go to" is the 6,5x55 Ackley Improved. They are ultra-accurate, low recoil and even with 130 accubonds will bore a hole through both shoulders of a whitetail buck at 400 yds. As for yotes, pretty hard on them too!
