What are you going to do with the rifle? I hope it will become a classic custom rifle with a nice octagonal barrel, a fine stick of valnut and have nice metal work
I guess your rifle is a 8x57 I. Soo to get a wider range of bullets you have to get a barrel with 323 bore. I had a commercial mauser obendorf with double square bridges made before WW:1. The old mausers are very nice. Camber it in a classic cartridge don't do anything stupid with it, like trying to hardcrome the action or fit a stainless barrel to the nice blue action

If this happends, then Atkinson and the "mauser maffia" will correct you in a more physical way

Hire a competent gunsmith and no clown work, please. The action is worth a better end than that.
Jim- do you know the bore diameter?
Cheers

HunterJimdasMafia,
I got the check thank you, rifle ships when I get your dealer documentation.
I am interested as to the list comments on the rifle, not being a Mauser user.
