#SPANISH MAUSER FIRING PIN INSTALL#

I also examined the lug abutments as best I could. I'm no gunsmith, but I am an engineer (which some people will argue makes me completely unqualified for everything), and I examined the bolt lugs under magnification and saw no sign of setback at all on them. Is that right? And is there any reason why I can't just stone about.

My understanding is that it should be closer to. When I got home I measured the firing pin protrusion, which was just more than. We noticed that the firing pin dents were quite a bit deeper than what is normal. More worryingly, out of the 10 shots we fired, 5 of them pierced primers. Doing that will increase its engagement with the latch, and if that doesn't work I'll just have to get creative. The floorplate popped open with each shot, but I haven't tried straightening it yet. This was our redneck test firing fixture. Well, I am in the middle of a week of staycation, so the barrel has been installed, and the chamber reamed to it's final depth. Re: So I have this Spanish Mauser action. I'm sure I will have other questions about this as I get started, so you'll probably see me back here. Then I'll also have the experience and some new skills to my name, and I figure that will put me ahead.ДЄll the same, thanks for the advice. I'll do my best to get $400 of use out of it and call it a wash. Now, will it be worth $400 minus reloading stuff to someone else once I'm done? Most likely not, but that's OK. You know, take a step up in learning these skills.ДЄnd for what it's worth, I've managed to jump on some deals and I think I can finish this whole thing for around $400 including dies a couple boxes of bullets and a pound or two of powder. I've done some minor gunsmithing projects since then with good results, and a few months ago I was reminded about this action and decided to tackle this project finally. I then discovered that as a broke college student, I had neither the money nor the knowhow to finish the job and I forgot about it for a while. It was in bad shape, but the receiver was sound and the bottom metal was usable so I decided to go ahead and sporterize it. I bought the complete rifle off a friend of mine a long time ago for $75. This will most likely be the only Mauser I ever sporterize, though it may not be the only rifle I ever build/rebuild. I've been sitting on this thing for a long time, and I'm looking forward to getting it up and running. Is there any reason why I might want to avoid a Williams receiver mounted peep in favor of some other company's product? Can anyone tell me how wide one of those ramps is at it's base?Д¤. I can't find any place that lists the width of the base of a Williams front sight ramp, and from the pictures I am a little concerned that the ramp may be too wide for my barrel. The barrel I'm using has a muzzle diameter of 0.550 inch.

In light of that, I plan to forgo a scope and install a front sight ramp and receiver mounted peep. My watchword for this project is 'inexpensive'. What is the best way to straighten that? As rusty as the bottom metal is, I'm not sure I want to try to remove the hinge pin.ДЈ. The floorplate has been bent a bit about half an inch away from the hinge, like somebody tried to close it on something once (you can kind of see it in this picture). Is there any difference in magazine springs between 93's, 96's and 98's? This one needs to be replaced and Numrich is out of stock of mag springs for Spanish mauser's.Дў. I'm getting started on the project and I have some questions.ДЎ. and I've been wanting to turn it into something more useful than a paperweight.
