LorenzoSorry about the bad quality pict, I'm not a good photographer

. Finally after two years the rifle is at home!!!

1910 uruguayan mauser 98
Lother Walther barrel, NECG open sights, Talley bases, etc

A very attractive gun. You have fine taste in firearms.
Beautiful....it is about time! I remember when you started on this project.
Now...next photo with something expired next to it please.

I noticed that you respected the original design and did not remove the charger hump when installing the scope mounts.

Can stripper clips still be used as intended?

LorenzoThanks gentlemen!!! I'm very happy.
Harry,
Yes, you remember??!! I still have the reloading tables you gave me. I promise you his next picture will be with something with holes
Kurt, you are correct!! I tried to keep it "original style", it's a pity the bad quality of the pictures, doesn't show his real beauty.
Thanks again

exabitExcellent wood for the stock! And a nice pick of caliber (coming from someone who lives in a country full of 9.3x62 worshipers

)
I love it! I hope mine turns out as nice as your's did.

What load/bullet have you decided to use?
Cheers

LorenzoThanks gentlemen.
Boghossian,
I'll put a low magnification Leupold but most of times I will just go comando

Johan,
I will also introduce him to the water buffaloes, for pigs and deers I'll be using 270' grains speers, 286 round noses PMP and whatever I put my hands on, for buffs 286 Barnes solids

allfodenLorenzo,
Beautiful rifle. I cannot wait to drag it through the mud after buffalo in Uruguay. Just joking! Please have a stiff drink on me after dealing with my sister in law today.

AtkinsonHello Al F
How in the world have you been doing, we have not talked in awhile..Good to hear your alive and kicking...

allfodenHello Ray,
Not bad at all. Been hunting with Lorenzo in Uruguay and
in B.C. for spring bear this spring. Thinking about not going to Zim in August because of the news from there.
Best regards,
Ed

Fred BouwmanLorenzo, A beautiful rifle. I have a similar project underway, but am a long way from being finished.
Can you tell me about the stock, please? What did you use?
Also, which LW barrel contour did you use?
Thanks. -Fred

TGetzenFantastic, Lorenzo. Like the styling on that rifle, very classic. Hard to beat the chambering too. I like the retained charger hump. I have vowed never to grind down the charger hump on a military mauser again.
Best,
Todd
