I built a 7.62x39 rifle on a 1895 small ring mauser receiver/action. My understanding is 95 mausers are antique and I was told once an antique always an antique. So, my 7.62x39 Mauser built with a new sporter barrel and scope base on a new stock is an antique and no need to go thru FFL to...

Armscor M22, copy of Ruger 10/22, is now available in US. SOG lists it at $160. Anyone try it yet? Opinion?

I heard that ATR had broken extractor problem and many had multiple failures. Have they fixed it yet? The extractor seems to be the same design as Savage and Merlin X7, what cause Mossberg having this issue? MIM part quality? PSA has year end clearance on ATR for $315 and offers $100 gift card...

I have a K98 Mauser with side sling slot on the butt. I want to sling it to make it easier to carry but don't really want to spend the money to buy a genuine Mauser sling since I have couple 1-1/4" commercial slings sitting around already. Is there a good way to use a commercial sling on a...

Building a Mauser in 308 and want to fit a Green Mountain (Adams & Bennett) barrel from MidwayUSA.

I was going to put a military barrel on a mauser receiver and realized that I cannot time the barrel correctly to get the sights at 12 o'clock position. Will need to melt the solder and alight the sights and thinking just remove the sights since the receiver is already drilled and tapped for...

Bought an old mauser, the bore is dark but still have some shine and rifling is distinct. Noticed the rifling near muzzle is almost gone, drop a bullet with rear end first and it will go in almost 3/4" and stop. I have not shot it yet, but think I may need to counterbored it. How to do it...

I had old Mauser receivers received as C&Rs in the past. Recently, a dealer said C&R only applies to complete firearm, not the action or receiver only and insisted shipping to FFL only. Is this correct? The old Mauser receivers I bought as C&Rs are built with new stocks and barrels and become...

I have a Turk Mauser action that miss an ejector and bolt stop assembly and want to buy one to put on. Notice there are actually 2 types on ejector for 98 mausers, round hole and oval hole. What is the difference? Which one fit which mauser? Any difference in bolt stop? This is large ring...

Buying a Spanish La Coruna large ring mauser with no stripper guide or thumb notch. I have a FR8 and famalier with M43 La Coruna mausers but have no idea about the no thumb notch (commercial?) version. I know M43s were last built in 1957. How about the commercial version? When was it last built...

I purchased a Remington 799 in 7.62x39 a year ago, may have only put 50-60 rounds thru it and then put it aside. This morning, I took out the rifle to get it ready for a new range time and notice the extractor chipped! It still extract, but lost about 1/2 of the claw. Other owners have the same...

Take out firing pin of my Tanfoglio to polish the block and cleaning. It is very difficult to put it back. Any trick? It is an Armscore Rock Islanland MAP1, 9mm. Should be the same as EAA Witness. The flat side of the pin should be facing top of the slide to position the notch on the pin to the...

I have a mauser action that I will rebarrel soon. The new barrel (308) is already headspaced and ready to go. Have receiver wrench but don't have a barrel vise. I use a 2x4 wood block and drill a 1" hole and cut into 2 halves to use as barrel block and seems to work but will not give much...

In small ring mausers, when trigger pulled, there is a locking feature to raise a 'dog" to engage in a slot on bolt to lock bolt from rotation. This feature is dropped in large ring 98 Muasers. Why is this feature needed in small ring mausers? I am building a sporterized small ring mauser and...
