I am going nuts trying to figure out the various Mauser actions. Which ones are large ring, small ring, large ring short action, small ring short action, large ring with small ring threads, etc.... the list seems endless. Could someone please give me the breakdown of what actions fall into what category?

The problem was I spent most of my class time either reading gun magazines or Robert Ruark books. They were far more interesting than what the teacher was babbling on about.

Interesting you should ask that, I was reading last night the Jack O'Conner book that was a gift to me by a very generous forum member. And last night I ran across the line that basically said (not verbatim) "there were so many manufacturers of mauser actions, commercial, military, various countrys, for arsenal and sporting that it is basically impossible to ever become an expert, even experts will find variations they had no idea existed" Red | |||

definition.....Mauser action.....A hole in the wooden stock in which you sink money. I'd highly advise that one learns Winchester and other actions first. They're easier to learn and far more practical. I'm now to the point that if the Mauser has the traditional thumb cut on the left side of the action I leave it alone. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."

There is only one thing you should be concentrating on and it is not guns. That one thing is trying to get back into school! Handmade paracord rifle slings: paracordcraftsbypatricia@gmail.com | |||

323, I start class back up on the 8th after spending the last 2 months sitting on my can in hold status. And for the record, as you should already know Mr. Carreer Counselor, IET is for the little kids. I fall under the re-class of MOS category since I have already been arouond a bit.

Hey, Bill...my dad used to always tell me that everyone is stupid...just on different subjects! And in the business I was in I ran into more educated fools than I could ever hope to keep count of. | |||

The Great American Gunstock website has a pretty good concise summary, particularly since it is slanted toward stock fit. The only thing it doesn't cover is barrel threads. | |||

 On all points! The Mauser was designed to be the most goof proof rifle possible the would probably be stuck in the hands of some scared piss in his pants recruit. That is, I was designed for war, The most dangerous hunting game I can think of. The thumb cut was to aid in rapid loading from stripper clips and other than being somewhat cosmetically unappealing to some, does not affect the strength or integrity of the firearm.Once again, I say on all counts.Paul B. | |||

Bill, if you go to Ray's school, shut your ears when he mentions the Mex 1910's and 36's.  He can't seem to remember what it is. | |||
