The phrase "caveat emptor" springs to mind, can't believe anyone could be so silly as to bid on that, or even offer it for auction but I guess there is always the one for that minute.

uh..."The front of the ejection port on right side of the action has a crack"...might be the understatement of the decade...

How about a "cavernous split"

"This is a complete sporterized Mauser 96 (CARL GUSTAFS STADS GEVARSFAKTORI 1917)."

The word complete means all components...uh there are no components...just the receiver body


"All parts that are in the pics are included."

uh...there are no parts in the pics.


Perhaps the seller skipped English class.

What I have learned on AR, since 2001:
1. The proper answer to: Where is the best place in town to get a steak dinner? is…You should go to Mel's Diner and get the fried chicken.
2. Big game animals can tell the difference between .015 of an inch in diameter, 15 grains of bullet weight, and 150 fps.
3. There is a difference in the performance of two identical projectiles launched at the same velocity if they came from different cartridges.
4. While a double rifle is the perfect DGR, every 375HH bolt gun needs to be modified to carry at least 5 down.
5. While a floor plate and detachable box magazine both use a mechanical latch, only the floor plate latch is reliable. Disregard the fact that every modern military rifle uses a detachable box magazine.
6. The Remington 700 is unreliable regardless of the fact it is the basis of the USMC M40 sniper rifle for 40+ years with no changes to the receiver or extractor and is the choice of more military and law enforcement sniper units than any other rifle.
7. PF actions are not suitable for a DGR and it is irrelevant that the M1, M14, M16, & AK47 which were designed for hunting men that can shoot back are all PF actions.
8. 95 deg F in Africa is different than 95 deg F in TX or CA and that is why you must worry about ammunition temperature in Africa (even though most safaris take place in winter) but not in TX or in CA.
9. The size of a ding in a gun's finish doesn't matter, what matters is whether it’s a safe ding or not.
10. 1 in a row is a trend, 2 in a row is statistically significant, and 3 in a row is an irrefutable fact.
11. Never buy a WSM or RCM cartridge for a safari rifle or your go to rifle in the USA because if they lose your ammo you can't find replacement ammo but don't worry 280 Rem, 338-06, 35 Whelen, and all Weatherby cartridges abound in Africa and back country stores.
12. A well hit animal can run 75 yds. in the open and suddenly drop with no initial blood trail, but the one I shot from 200 yds. away that ran 10 yds. and disappeared into a thicket and was not found was lost because the bullet penciled thru. I am 100% certain of this even though I have no physical evidence.
13. A 300 Win Mag is a 500 yard elk cartridge but a 308 Win is not a 300 yard elk cartridge even though the same bullet is travelling at the same velocity at those respective distances.

Perhaps a better choice of word should have been chosen when describing this unattractive

paper weight .

bar·gain (bärgn)
n.
1. An agreement between parties fixing obligations that each promises to carry out.
2.
a. An agreement establishing the terms of a sale or exchange of goods or services: finally reached a bargain with the antique dealer over the lamp.
b. Property acquired or services rendered as a result of such an agreement.
3. Something offered or acquired at a price advantageous to the buyer.

I see none of the above !.

I've also noticed as of late many used reloading items on EBay are selling

in excess of NIB items !. ?? P T Barnum was correct as was whom ever it was who coined the

Yeah, lots of folks making magnum length actions out of '96's.

I have to agree with Duane. Seems like a lot of risk to make a paltry $28.

an 1896 Carl Gustav receiver?

It isn't acutally worth the rod to fix it let alone the setup time.

Fixing it would be like putting new electrodes into a used spark plug.

Zip ties are a bit wimpy, I'd at least use bailing wire, tightly wrapped. After using the JB weld of course.

You could go really Bubba and weld a piece of pipe over the "cracked" section. It would make inletting a bit harder but for a truck gun....

TIG? If you're doing everything else you might as well just use a stick welder to keep the quality appearance.

Does is look a bit sprung to anyone else also? Nothing that can't be fixed with a stiff whack or two from a hammer I guess.

To hijack the subject a little, I don't know the answer to this one-

In the cutting-in-two-and-and-welding-2-actions together method of getting a magnum length action, could a 96 action be used for the rear half instead of a 98? I'm not wondering if it "can" be done, but if things like the trigger and bolt stop are the same as a 98 and interchange, and if the back half of a 98 bolt would work without major modifications.

Just thought-maybe you could open the crack some more, while using your ox/ae tourch of coarse, and fit a 1.10 barrel. Primers usually fire even when hit a little off center. No JB weld for the fill in though. Acraglass dyes black better! diggin

Hey Dettorre, looks like the perfect candidate for that switch barrel rig you've been wanting. Insert the barrel and pinch the ring closed with a pair of Vice Grips. And nothing say's "quick" like the release lever on a pair of Vice Grip pliers. Big Grin

Hey Gang,
I actually sent this guy a PM suggesting he was misleading the ignorant. Here is his reply, cut and pasted (lines of dots to separate are mine):
.................................

If you attend the Trinidad State Junior College, CO for gunsmithing, you learn how to do this, I attended, graduated, as well as Montgomery NC and 20 years of Master Gunsmithing and Machining in the US Marines. I also teach gunsmithing and machining classes, SOOOO I think I know what I am talking about

I choose not to include his name and email in this PUBLIC forum?

Let me ask a serious question about welding.

Seems to me that we rely on welding to hold a lot of things that take a lot of pressure.
So, while I am not interested in these receivers, my question for welders: is there a type of steel and a weld that could fix these receivers such that they could be safe?
