Mexican Mauser 7x57
Here is a project I hope to have at the DSC convention. A nice little Mexican Mauser blind box in 7x57. It is a really nice light little gun the wood is a great piece of Turkish Walnut I got from Clay at Luxus.
If you are going to DSC stop by and say hello booth 2654
Thanks for looking.





It is obviously not fully inlet yet.
I will post some more in the next few days

Just out of curiosity, was that stock done by hand, with a mill, or with a duplicator.

On my Duplicator from a pattern I made just for it. I have another Mex that I am going to do in 6.5x55 on this same pattern. Put lots of time into making the pattern the way I wanted it to feel and fit.

Building the 6.5 for a customer or just building for inventory or a personal gun?


On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

The 6.5 is probably going to be a personal gun but I have said that before and had it change. the action for that one has all the lightening cuts like a g33-40 and will also make a nice lightweight hunting rifle.
