Moved recently and came across my copy of "Gunsmithing Made Easy." There's an article in there about rebarreling a mauser action. I'd love to do something like this from home, just to say I've built my own gun.
The author purchased his actions from Charles Daly, who has since gone out of business. Are there any other vendors out there for mauser actions? Or are there other suitable actions that can be rebarreled in a home environment successfully(Like Savage, Ruger, Remington, etc.)?
I'd really like to build one of two rifles: Either a 260 Rem for paper punching, or something along the lines of my other topic, an attempt at a quiet centerfire caliber. Probably like to do the second as I don't really have a dedicated range for long distance shooting here.
I'm not doing this to try to save money, would like the experience of it.
Thanks guys.
