Dr.Hess Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 I have got some good stuff dumpster diving over the years. I worked at a place in a block of offices that had the dumpster off on the side and people would come dump things. I've got a brand new refrigerator, sort of super-dorm size, a couple hundred dollars worth of stainless steel, and a lot more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racepres Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 Jeremy; Appreciate your Service, and your suggestions.. Will keep an eye out! The extractor I have seems "pliable", not springy like I expect it to be...like it did Not get Tempered?? I have made my own Springs, but am very hesitant to try my (amateur) hand at tempering such a piece!! In the mean time...I need to weld on a Bolt Handle...Will probably revive a Thread for Such...

Jeremy Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 I have the same affliction. Rescuing the broken, cannibalized, orphaned, homeless and otherwise un-wanted guns is my purpose in life just like adopting stray animals is for others. I firmly believe that having a gun that doesn't go bang isn't worth having and staring at a wall hanger is as boring as watching paint dry.

Jeremy Posted April 21 Report Share Posted April 21 Here is the 6.5x55 Swede. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Posted April 21 Report Share Posted April 21 I have started another project. It is a Type 99 Arisaka orphan that I adopted a couple of years ago. It started as a barreled action that I bought just because I wanted to challenge myself. After more than a year of finding suitable parts. The real work has begun. It always starts as a pile of orphaned parts. I drilled and tapped for a scope and I must say that the receiver is as tuff as a witches heart. The pictures are for preliminary fit I still have to forge the bolt handle and lots of other work. Jeremy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Hess Posted Sunday at 11:53 AM Report Share Posted Sunday at 11:53 AM I've read that those Arisakas are the strongest of all Mauser type actions. The destructive testing level it took to damage them was just crazy. And the "stoopid" survival of the actions as well, like running 30-06 through them. "Recoiled a lot more...." What caliber are you going to make it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racepres Posted Sunday at 12:25 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 12:25 PM Do you still need any Arisaka Parts?? Ejector Box, Extractor, some other stuff Not at the tip of my tongue... LMK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Posted Sunday at 03:11 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 03:11 PM Doc, I'm going to keep it in 7.7 i have the dies and a couple of boxes of vintage Norma brass to get started with and I can always make more brass from 30-06 brass. I had floated the idea of making it into a .338 Gibbs for which I have a Hart barrel that I got dirt cheap from a seller on flea bay who didn't know what he had. After receiving all of the large ring Mauser parts from my friend in Colorado who saved them from the trash so that has put me on the hunt for an orphaned large ring receiver to marry the .338 Gibbs barrel to. I'm only doing that because of the economy of labor and tooling. Besides I haven't built a rifle on a large ring receiver yet. Building rifles on small ring receivers is fun and like eating green M&M's all the time sometimes a man just wants a red or yellow one. Having some large ring Mauser's will open up many more possibilities for different chambering and aftermarket parts that are available for large ring Mauser sporter's. Racepres, I could use another ejector/bolt stop the one I have the ejector retaining screw is in pretty rough shape. What would you need to have or trade for it? PM me with more information and I'll respond. Daddy day care calls I have to go for now. Jeremy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Hess Posted Sunday at 03:51 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 03:51 PM I bought a large ring Spanish Mauser 43 for a hundred bucks from Hunters Lodge. Pics of it here somewhere. It's basically a K98k pattern. I don't think you can buy a receiver for that, but it is a crap shoot as to what you get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Posted Sunday at 06:20 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 06:20 PM That is a good score and it is a crap shoot as to what you get when dealing with parts and old receivers that have been cannibalized and the parts sold off. But I'll keep rolling the dice and inspecting very closely what I win. Jeremy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
