Jeremy Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 It is much easier. It does work on both small ring and large ring Mauser's in particular 93,95,96 and 98 models. It also works on the Spring Field 1903 and 1903A1, Enfield the Jap 38 and type 99. There are 2 numbered top plates to drill the different models of rifle receivers the plate stamped withe #1 is for Mauser's and the one marked with the #2 is for the later models. Sun Optics a Chinese knock off of the same fixture which unfortunately has been discontinued too. The method of use is the same and it can serve double duty as a holding fixture which is useful for other work while being held in a vise. Every now and then they do come available on eBay or you can get lucky like I did at a gun show. Jeremy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Hess Posted January 31 Author Report Share Posted January 31 I'll keep my eyes out for one. When I get on my 98 project, I think I'll go with the old Bubba+ method of super glue the mount to the top, getting it level by grabbing it and the bottom of the receiver with some calipers, then mark the hole locations through the mount. Unless I can find one of those jigs and it's cheaper than buying a new rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 I blued the receiver and some small parts. I used Mark Lees express brown 2 it took 6 coats to get it done. The process was apply the solution after de-greasing boil wash rinse repeat and card the parts between cycles. I'll jewel the bolt and blue the barrel next. The barrel will have to be done in the garage with the large bluing tank. The same process of wash rinse repeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Hess Posted February 6 Author Report Share Posted February 6 That turned out nice. I think I'll go with the Brownells Alumihyde on my next build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
