tinkerfive Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Just an FYI. I was on GB the other day and saw another 93 that was done in 1940. I think that they were fitting a bell on the front of those small rings to accept their upper hand-guard because they were setting them into the same basic stock as KKales. Man I thought that those Turks were nutzo for milling a lip into some of their contract German 98's. I can't understand why they thought all that metal work was a better choice than making the stock fit the gun rather than making the gun fit the stock.

Sailormilan2 Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 If you have a lathe, and are careful, you can turn the steps on the barrel down, so that the contour is very similar to that of a Winchester Featherweight barrel. I am in the process of doing that to a military 308 Win barrel as we speak. It looks good. I am still working on one section as it does look quite right yet. When I first turned it down, I turned the steps, and when I got it done, it didn't look right. I thought I had ruined it. Sooooo, I practiced my thread cutting on the threads. I turned the threads down to Small Ring threads from Large Ring. But, after carefull consideration, I realised I could save it and went back to work on it. I have it looking much better now. Unfortunately, the only receiver I have with small ring threads is a 1909 Peuvian. But it requires a threaded shank that is too long for this barrel to handle. So, the barrel goes back into the pile until I find the right action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
