So I have decided to start a new thread since I now know the direction I will be going and to bring you guys along...sorry.
Back story. I got a Swedish Mauser 96 +-25 years ago when I was young and dumb and decided it would be my "gunsmith experiment"...
This back when the Mauser was kind of like the Mosin Nagant of five years ago.
I tinkered with it, worked on the trigger (had to buy another trigger..LOL), tapped it, and got the bolt bent.
I shot it in the 6.5X55 for many years but could never use it in Indiana for deer.
So recently I found a supplier that had .450BM barrels for the small ring Mauser and I ordered one.
This will share how things are going and also open it up for any tips.
Also....trust me when I say. "Older smarter me would have cleaned it and thrown it in the safe but younger dumber me had already taken it to the point where there was no going back!"
