rdm1962 Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 Every time I search for Adam & Bennet mauser barrels I get directed to Battenfield' s web site. I know they used to be the manufacture/ seller of A&B barrels. I search but can't find them. Didn't Midway sell them also? I can't find them on their site either. Anyone know what's up on it.

AzRednek Posted December 25, 2015 Report Share Posted December 25, 2015 Sorry, I can't speak of A&B but I seriously doubt anybody is still mass producing Mauser barrels. If you're looking for an economical Mauser barrel you might try Shaw. You might also try Ebay and the gun auction websites like Gunbroker.

Sailormilan2 Posted December 25, 2015 Report Share Posted December 25, 2015 They became Green Mountain Barrels. But, you won't find them on Green Mountain's website. Midway still has a few barrels in stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fyrd Posted December 25, 2015 Report Share Posted December 25, 2015 FYI, Green Mountain Barrels work great. I rebarreled a 93 Mauser into 7x57 and was able to come up with a load that shot under 1 MOA. I just got a .308 for my current Turk conversion project. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/753330/green-mountain-barrel-mauser-series-3-308-winchester-f54-contour-1-in-10-twist-24-fluted-stainless-steel (Yes, we had to turn down the threads, ) We also have a couple of barrels off of Gunbroker, but haven't used them yet.

Dr.Hess Posted December 25, 2015 Report Share Posted December 25, 2015 What's your favorite 7x57 load? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fyrd Posted December 26, 2015 Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 Our accuracy load for this rifle is 150g Nosler Ballistic Tip behind 44.5 grains of WW760. This gets us < 1MOA if the shooter does his part. Fyrd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Hess Posted December 26, 2015 Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 That's the same barrel I have on my Spanish 93. Mine seems to like the lighter bullets, like 129g. I'll give that load a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzRednek Posted December 26, 2015 Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 For what its worth, 20+ years ago I used Winchester 748 and got good results. I wouldn't even want to guess what the load was or even the bullet weight. Being the cheapskate I am. I most likely used the lightest weight and lowest priced bullets. My Spaniard rifle with a very dark bore never shot well but one of my shooting buds had a near mint German mfd South American 7X57 Mauser carbine that shot like a house fire. If I remember right I used my friend's suggested 748 load and also recall him working up a load using IMR 3031. He also had a FN-49 in 7X57 he had to give up in a nasty divorce.
