Well done! That will sure look nice when you put that Timney trigger on the Mauser.

I can’t wait. The only other thing I’m more excited for is building a 338 Edge on an old CZ action… Making a modern Grizzly gun. This Mauser is getting the 30-06 classic treatment.

Howdy Pards, been missing spending time on the forum, but school is whooping me good. Figured I’d drop in with an update. Semester 1 is basically a machinists cert, which I am loving. Spending 7 hours a day on lathes and mills pumping out parts based on blueprints, we’re graded to within 0.001” accuracy. 
 

Today I turned and threaded my first buttress thread, I actually found it easier than regular threading since I didn’t have to push in on the compound, I just used the cross slide. But it looks cool!

 

This part is a Bolt Mandrel for a Mauser 98 action. Fits like a glove.

 

 

 

 

Hope y’all are staying safe and not starting too many saloon brawls

This is Fidget, my ferocious rabbit hunting/flushing partner. He's a Jack Russell but was born with no spot on his face. Snobby breeder didn't want him, told me he was worthless. Boy was she wrong. He has the best nose and is a real good boy.
