looking through the gun safe (becoming more and more full by the month) I came across a turk mauser action that was gifted to me by an old friend. The barrel is pitted, wood was crap, so on and so forth. I came up with and idea, albeit with the addition of a couple shots of Jameson's, to bore and re-thread the action itself to a savage small/large shank thread pattern, turn down the action face to flat and viola, switch barrel mauser. The inspiration to do such a thing came from the availability of savage pre-fit barrels and my ability to headspace at home.
I LOVE the mauser control feed style action and the Savage barrel nut system would just be icing on the cake, IMHO. That and a 3 position safety. I know a lot of people will be thinking, just switch barrel a Winchester 70 or FN, but this is what I have, and it would be an interesting option for the turk mauser action. And I love to "create".
Question is, anyone know of anyone who is capable/equipped to do such a thing?
