scott63 Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 A while back you posted a pic of a receiver that you had lightened up quite a bit with milling cuts. I've tried searching for that and can't find it. Could you post any pics you have of these receivers? Thank you...............Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z1r Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Scott here are some pics of work someone else has done to a SR Mexican98 to make it resemble a G33/40. Not my work though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gun nutty Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Perhaps this was the image? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott63 Posted December 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Perhaps this was the image? Thank you both for the pics, but the one I remembered had milling cuts that were pretty drastic, and the bolt handle was hollowed out too. I thought Mike posted it, but maybe it was someone else? Thanks again for the pics.................Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mausers were just not meant to be ultra lights. But, you can still make them reasonably light. My .308 on a full sized vz24 weighs a mere 7.25 lbs scoped. It has a 21" bbl, and no lightening cuts. the only real machining done to it was the removal of the charger hump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pic I have in mind was pretty severe, I wasn't planning on anything that drastic, just wanting to see what was possible. I thought you had posted the pic saying it was for a client that wanted the utmost in ultralight, but it may have been someone else. It may have even been a Rem 700 action. Thanks again for the 33/40 pics................................Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
