    Gunsmithing Mauser 98 build

    Re: Mauser 98 build The barrel is not very good on my rifle I recrowned it and it shoots a lot better now, its acceptable as a hunting rifle right now I'd just like to make it as good of a shooter as I can. I was leaning towards the .308 round because surplus rounds are available to me very...

    Re: Mauser 98 build Thank you Country, I'll definitely look into those. I know that I can get a new rifle for less money but these old rifles are stuck with me. I grew up shooting my dads old m98 but I cant modify his so I just kept my eyes open for a cheap gun with a good action.
