PD999Superb! The engraving and colour case-hardening really tops it off. Congratulations!

D HumbargerI wonder if that barrel contour is what is known as the Bavarian Classic?

Nomo4meExceptional, yet one wonders why a bit of custom contouring couldn't have been done to mask the origins and slabbed geometry of the aftermarket bolt shroud.

22WRFI wonder if its a 1909 action.
It looks like a 1909 to me. Maybe Trax will link the site the pictures were lifted from.

Usually when "1909" alone is used in regards to a Mauser it denotes a 1909 Argentine action. I believe the rifle pictured employes a 1909 Peruvian action(usually called a "1909
Peruvian to differentiate it from an Argentine), which is an all together different beast(shorter bolt, longer ring, large ring/small threads, and the classiest, extra tall/slab sided charger charger hump to grace any Mauser).
I don't believe the Peruvian suffers from the same "heat-treating" questions that plague the Argentine.
BTW, I don't mean to step on anyone's toes, and I realize the you(or some of you) may have been referring to the 1909 Peruvian. I just wanted to clarify that this is not the common '09 that is often found in custom rifles.
Note charger hump:

shootawayIMO,this rifle would look much nicer with a new action like a H&W.I think this action ruined the project.It's like putting old rusted rims and frame on a brand new Rolls Royce.Very nice wood.

heavenknowsWhen building a take down from an Oberndorf action they H&W) use to prefer the Peruvian 1909 for one reason.
The Peruvian action has the small thread.
So they can bore out the old thread and apply their special thread a n d there remains enough flesh in the receiver front ring.
The bottom metal in this case is Argentine 1909.
After all that years in dealing with Mausers I have to learn how the use of a Peruvian Mauser can "ruin" a rifle.

Fal GruntThe Peruvian 1909 and Costa Rican 1910 are both "Rigby" actions that are shorter than the standard 98, small thread, and both are excellent actions.
I think the Peruvians are beautiful. Not only was the Mauser action a feat to make in the early 1900's, but the 1909 Peruvian was a variant outside the norm that is even more interesting.

I buy Mauser actions, parts, micrometers, tools, calipers, etc. Specifically looking for pre-WWII Mauser tools.
27 August 2011, 23:36
heavenknowsShould have added to my post above that the thread of the Peruvian Mauser is also longer than the standard what increases the amount of bearing surface for the trapezoidal rethreading of the H&W take down rifle for a longer life.
So if one uses a prewar Mauser action for a take down project the Peruvian is the best choice for technical reasons and to my taste also for the aesthetics.

WoodHunterIf you really want to see porn, hit their website and look at the shop photos.: Better constructed and cleaner than most folks' houses. Premium equipment. More than adequately tooled. More than adequate inventory of parts & supplies. Young upcoming gun builders working in the shop and learning from the real masters.
I would pay just to sweep the floors and take the trash out.
They sort of put American custom gun builders to shame.

I am still waiting for you to explain how this rifle would
look nicer with a new action........
Keep in mind, heavenknows has already explained why this 09 peruvian is superior to the modern actions for the H&H style take-down.

H&W do not make new manufacture stdM98 length receivers[only Kurz and Magnum]...neither well matched to .25/06 & 35Whelen.
Like the Peruvian 1909,..New manufacture H&W M98 actions have an extended front receiver ring & thread,
as do new GMA mauser actions, which are avail. in stdM98 length for 25/06 & 35whelen.
