Rhineland; for those that don't know but do care, makes a lot of neat stuff but the bit I've been interested in lately is their .45acp Mauser rifle conversions. Take a small ring or large ring bolt action mauser surplus rifle (like on that someone bubba'd and made look horrible so you've got an excuse) put their 160 dollar kit on it (with about 20 bucks in other parts being required) and you have a bolt gun that shoots .45acp from a 1911 mag. Neato right.

My problem has been that they've only been offering their tapered barrels and i wanted a heavy barrel for the heat soak capacity so I can plink and not get it as hot among other reasons.

I pinged them about that and they're going to offer untapered barrels now. Both large and small ring. 1" untapered. Just chambered and threaded. You'll have to inlet the stock for that but that easy.

the guys there said it was ok for me to spill the beans on that. Since I got most of the information I needed to decide to do the project from THR I decided I should at least let the THR family know.

Pic of my rifle:
Yeah it's not a good quality pic. You'll live.

Now to go roll up some trimmed .460 rowland loads and punch some jugs-o-water.
 
On the flip side, in 2006, several members of the MFRC site never received their merchandise that they paid for, from the guy running Rhineland out of an address in Texas. He then disappeared for a few years and has reappeared selling the 45 conversions again. Those guys never got their money back or any merchandise, although they tried repeatedly.

Consider yourself fortunate, r3dn3ck1, as a leopard doesn't often change it's spots.

well I'm betting that it's a different operation now. I've bought several items from them with no problems over the course of a year and I personally know 4 others who've done the same, so I'm going to say that you're casting 6 year old aspersions on a company you haven't done business with and ask you to threadcrap somewhere else.
 
Not very High Road of you to say that, this gentleman has been around this forum for quite awhile! I believe he was just passing on some info thats been known on here for quite a long time now, tone your remarks down a few notches!
 
In a manner of speaking but it's not super low effort. Put the old barrel back on and change the ejector and drive out the roll pins and re-install the floorplate and magazine follower/spring assembly and you're back to the old gun.
