drill and pin to receiverĥ) No inner C ring. Sako extractor conversionĤ) Recoil lug not attached. glue it in a flat bottom shroudģ) Wimpy extractor. So what is un Mauser like about Rem700 actions?Ģ) Round bottom. Glass bedding the barreled action to the stockĪnd if you go the Rem700 route, things are no easier trying to get a Rem700 up to Mauser standards: The sporterization process may also include:īending the bolt handle or welding the bolt handle to clear a scope. If you take a long chambered, pre threaded, quality factory lapped barrel to a competent and fair priced gunsmith, he can pull your old barrel, cut a hair off the breech and shoulder of the new barrel to head space it, and screw it into you action with an hour of effort. I have put a different barrel on and got the Mauser shooting again on 15 Mausers, and stood around while my brother has done another dozen in his shop.
I have taken the barrel off and drilled and tapped ~ 100 Mausers, then put the barrel back on. Tools: a depth micrometer and or dial caliper with the companion to the press the feeler gage, for me, is a must. When indexing the M1917 or the 03 it is a given, I have never had one index without moving the shoulder forward and that is the only seating surface, like a small ring Mauser. I have been lucky? I have never been required to move the shoulder forward to make sure the face of the barrel seats before the shoulder on the barrel and the gap never required the face of the barrel to be moved back. 003 + or- very little if required after checking head space, again the Mauser barrel bottoms out and does not advance except for crush, the feeler gage, a foreign tool around anything related to guns can be used to determine the gap between the front receiver ring and seating surface of the shoulder at the end of the threads.

Short chamber has to do with chambering after installing, I choose to chamber first then install and finish the last. A friend purchased one of the two Monarch for sale, USAAF 1942 with an 18 inch swing, I have two lathes, just past on another, Monarch 16 inch for $400.00, 4,500 lbs with tooling, no room and I would have to do the hauling, 800 miles one way. Torque when installing a barrel 60 lb X 1 ft+ 60 ft lbs, the threads on the Mauser are 12x.110, it would seem 60 ft lbs would be on the light side BUT the face of the barrel bottoms out against the receiver 'C' ring (torque/seating ring) the best way to brake a bolt is to bottom it out first then tighten.Ī barrel wrench is held in a vise, again the tool that is sold to hold the barrel is designed to be bolted to something that will hold it but the little wood blocks will not hold the barrel for removal, I have 48" pipe wrenches I can use when the barrel is scrap, but even when it is scrap the chamber can be cut off and reamed for a chamber test gage. Torque when removing a barrel: 290 lbs.X 4'6"=1,305 ft lbs When using the cute little woods blocks with rosin I have come close to setting the wood on fire, at 290 lbs I have been suspended on the end of a 4 foot extension before the barrel and receiver broke loose with a loud noise, sometimes a shock is required, always hook up the two tools close close together to eliminate twist. You can rent the reamer, the problem with barrel vises they do not work, for me not a problem, I use a hydraulic press with bushing made of aluminum, I am not bashful about pumping the press up, I do not hesitate to put an extension of the handle of the action wrench.

GregM, I have no ideal what the lathe is used for when replacing a barrel, before I install a barrel for convincing I use a colet on the gear end of a lathe and use the chuck to hold hold the barrel in when checking the effect the short chamber will have on head space and when reaming the chamber before installing the barrel on the receiver.įirst check the head space on the rifle before removing the 'old' barrel then check the chamber for case protrusion, if the head space is OK? the measurement can be used when reaming the chamber in the new barrel.Įquipment" a barrel vise, action wrench, reamer and dial caliper, if you are going to be shooting gages by all means get a go-gage, I shoot ammo new and or ammo I load, I use new commercial ammo and or full length sized cases for gages.
