Finally, I manage to arrive at the weekend, and I’m busier on the weekend than I was in the week. <\/p>\n

I have a 93 mauser I have had in the gun safe forever. I bought a barrel for it in 7.62 x 39, and I have done nothing with it since it arrived. I shot a friend’s version of the same deal, and decided I liked it enough, a small, handy,light rifle, that I would proceed with making my own. The conversion kit from Numrich was, at the time, $90 with free shipping. And the package languished in the gun cabinet until last fall. <\/p>\n

I needed to get a finish reamer. I met the guys at Manson Reamers<\/a> at the Shot Show, and purchased a reamer from them, which arrived Tuesday. <\/p>\n

So friday evening, at $undisclosed location, I finish reamed the barrel and headspaced it properly (A tricky deal unless you have access to really high precision equipment, and i did) wrung the action on the receiver, and went to eat. <\/p>\n

Saturday morning, we went to eat again, went to another undisclosed location to test fire the Mauser, put a couple rounds through it to confirm function, and staggered off to get a set of scope bases that fit, not an easy task for a 93. As it is I will have to modify them. <\/p>\n

The mau is on it’s original stock, a fairly bubbaed original, but I like the shape and feel of it so I may decide to keep it. I do have a half decent trigger (timney) to put on it and more than a few places I can get a more modern stock if i like. I’ll need screws and probably a couple other pieces before I take it down garnet blast it and put it in the sauce to blue. I have a few other guns coming up I will need to do at the same time so it will be a bluing party. <\/p>\n

We pulled service on all the equipment, a couple four wheelers, mower, golf cart, etc. and burned a few stubblefieldfs, stuck the truck nad had to unstick it, then went off to a fleamarket (Was supposed to be an auction) where I stumbled on a solid scythe, whcih I hope to be able to use in the backyard this summer, once most of the tree shit is out of the way. <\/p>\n

A busy and fun weekend so far, and now I have to pay the piper and try to get some work done. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
