    Mauser Brutus build

    I always wanted a mauser 98, just to learn about the action and see what all the hype is about. Kai Hauck an gunsmith friend in Germany picked out a 1909 Argentine Mauser for me. This was sent STL-Rifles for a re-barrel to 20" 308 with a new Lothar Walther. Manfred at STL is a very succesful...

    Gunsmithing AICS on Argentine Mauser??

    I had my Argentine Mauser recently re-barrelled with a Lothar Walther 308 and my son made me a very light stock. Plan is to make a light weight bush rifle with 1.5-5x24 dot scope. The original mag system is very heavy and awkward to unload. Has anyone experience with fitting an AICS mag system...

    Suppressors Looking at Roedale’s Delta Suppressors

    I’m not sure if any of these Euro Suppressors made by Roedale Precision in Germany have made it over the pond yet. In the meantime we have a huge selection of suppressors to choose from in Europe, with the UK also having several manufacturers. Suppressors have come a long way since the days...

    Would someone know what the ideal measurement between bottom metal and action is? Measurement at the front and rear action screw.

    Gunsmithing Roedale Mag system Howa

    I'm not the greatest friend of a mag systems for lightweight hunting rifles. If two deer are down I have enough to drag and mostly 2-3 rounds are enough. But mag systems have their good points. I talked to Pete Lincoln of Roedale Precision about his new in house mag system for the howa 1500. He...
