Mauser Action Builds

[PKTrusty]

I see people talking about different rifles but I was curious are mauser builds still a thing and how do they compare to some of the new rifles you can buy off the shelf? I have a older Mauser rifle I bought in college and cut/welded the bolt so it would clear a scope and I left it as .308. Thinking about doing something with it but I guess I was just curious.

I also have a older Enfield in 303. Anyone doing anything cool with them? My enfield was kind of sporterized by the last guy so I dont think it is worth much. I would like to make either of these something more useable and fun for today. Just wanted to get peoples thoughts.

Thanks.

new trend seems to be “re-militarizing” the sporterized milsurps.

I've got a friend who built a 458 Mag on an Enfield. I fired it once and was impressed. I've got a few 8mm German Mausers but have left them alone. If the .308 Mauser shoots acceptable groups I'd leave it and play with the Enfield. Is the Mauser an Israeli?

Turn a P14 into a 45-70. It is pretty fun.

I’ve got a rifle built around a mauser-style action, an older CZ550. I thinks it’s similar to a mauser anyway. Pretty hefty.
