Can the Turkish '98 Mauser be rethreaded from small to large ring? What would be the downside of doing this if it is feasible? There are many more barrel choices in large ring, and the basic action is large ring. | ||

Not if you work from a blank. It would cost you the same or more to havethe threads recut than it would to bypass the short chambered barrels and use a blank. | |||

I don't see any reason why a barrel threaded for large ring could not be rethreaded for small ring. I have not tried it, but I don't see why it would not work fine. Clemson NRA Endowment Member US Army Veteran CWP Holder Gunsmith | |||

I think he's talking about the action and not the barrel. I'm guessing you could, but why? Terry -------------------------------------------- Well, other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play? | |||

Brain fade - guess i'm losing it. Never even gave a thought to starting with a blank. Just thinking prethreaded where there isn't much choice in small ring due to pressure limit worries. Guess a person could go just about any way they want with a blank and just thread to fit the Turk. Thanks for the replies. | |||

I think a Remington 700 take off barrel will work too. Terry -------------------------------------------- Well, other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play? | |||

They can be rethreaded. My 30-06 wears one. Jason "Chance favors the prepared mind." | |||

Someone mentioned earlier about worrying about pressure limit issues. Does the Turkish Mauser have a lower strength mechanism than other Mausers and thusly cannot shoot as hot or hi powered loads ? I thought they were equally strong as the German 98 or Yugos or any of the other Large Ring Mausers ? ? ? | |||

Are you referring to the K. Kales mausers? /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." Winston Churchill | |||

Yes, mine is a K Kale, large ring with small ring threads. | |||

I had five of them once.....I sent them off for heat treating but not sure it was necessary. Folks here suggested they not be used for an opened bolt face cartridge but one was barreled to .35 Whelen, one to 9.3 X 62, and one to.338-06. I see no reason to enlarge the action threads.....just mate the barrel to match what you already have. I found them to be fine actions! /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."
