That's sweet. You should be able to wipe a gnat's butt @ 300 yards with that baby. I wish I knew how to build a rifle like that. I would build me a beauty too.

"Hate me if you want to, Love me if you can" Git-R-Done!

Great work Paul...and a lot of it!

Thanks guy's, I probably could have bought one just a little cheaper. But I can honestly say I built this one with a GOOD friend. MY goal when I started was to build a 1inch group shooter(or better). We will see very soon.

you have done a great job on this mauser. how heavy a bullet do you plan on shooting? that rem. barrel is probably a 1in 10 twist. when i ordered my barrel for my mauser i got 1 in 12 twist and shoots 150 grain sierra prohunters really great. do please keep us updated!!!

Beautiful gun.  Be sure to post your final target results after you are finished.  What kind of scope are you going to put on it?

Lookin' good Paul, it's cool seeing those pieces come together! I'll show this to Richard.....very nice!

Let us know how it groups.

Paul,

Sounds like you've done one helluva job on that rifle.  I like that piece of lumber too.  I'd put a real light finish on it but that just me.  Keep us posted. 

Paul,

Nice build.  I've done 3 mausers myself and have used all the components that you have used (not all on the same gun).  I also like the EGW base for the $$.  Gotta machine off the charging bump, though which it looks like you did.

I've also found that you need to open up the rails a couple thou on each side to feed .308's in a full length M98 action, but maybe you won't have that problem on the shorter M24/47.

Keep up the good work.

Nice rifle paul ready to see some groups..

Good luck and happy hunting!

Looks like you're building a real tack-driver there.  Being able to do that kind of work with your hands is a gift.  I mounted a scope once and got so puffed up and proud of myself I popped the buttons off my shirt.  Like the others, I look forward to your range results.

have you gotten to shoot this rifle yet?

NO, I have been fighting with BSA OPTICS over that POS scope I bought, just got it BACK from them yesterday and both threaded lens caps are stripped out wont tighten. I flip the scope over and low and behold a sticker that says BSA QUALITY ASSURED! I gonna buy a Nikon I believe. I will update this thread when I shoot the rifle!

any updates on this project Paul?

Ricky none to speak of, I shot about 7 rounds through it at 50 yards to site it in. Action shifted started rubbing the stock had to float the barrell a little more. I was shooting 147 win fmjbt over runs  I had one nice size group you could cover with a dime.  I will post pictures of some hundred yard groups when I get to go. Thanks for asking

you getting this thing all ready for deer season Paul?

AHH Ricky I am in the bonding stage with this beloved weapon, as we progress closer to season I will spend endless days and nights with it. On a different note just got done appliying Birchwood Casey's to the stock and hand sanding in between each coat with 2000 gritt sandpaper, coming along rather nice. My plans are to head to the range this weekend if it don't rain 10 inches again this weekend.

any ideas on what your gonna use for ammo? i have been trying a few different reloads in my 308 mauser and think maybe i have a winner.

right now I am fire forming brass to my chamber for reloading purposes, I will hunt with Hornady 150gr sxt. 

A sweet looking machine, Paul.  And you're doing it right by taking your time.

Forgive me for saying so, but the break-in of the tube is truly critical to the accuracy and life of that baby, so shoot one and clean, shoot a couple and clean.  It's a tedious, painful process, I know.  But after waiting as long as you have, you certainly don't want to blow it at this point.

When it comes to fireforming your brass, as the great P.O. Ackley said, "Save the Cream of Wheat for breakfast".  Use good stout loads to fireform, mate.

I'm looking forward to seeing that thing shoot bugholes.

Ah, one thing more I meant to comment upon:  Yeah, you probably could've bought something off the shelf for the same kind of money or less.  Look at the fun you would have missed.  And this one is YOUR creation. 

Nothing beats that.

well Paul, do you have an update on your project?

any updates? are you taking it hunting this year?
