A friend of mine build mausers, usually from Czech CZ surplus guns bought from a local sporting goods store. He mentioned to me that I could find a Howa stainless big ring receiver for around $300. Does anyone know of a source for these or the FN receivers. He has been using Adams & Bennet barrels because they're cheap but hasn't had an opportunity to test them for accuracy yet. Is anyone familiar with these barrels, or could you suggest a good barrel for under $300? I'd like to build one on .308 with a timney trigger to have as a plinker (an accurate plinker), and figure the whole project will be cheap. Thanks for any Mauser info.---MOA
MOA: I have just broke in a .308 with a A&B barrel 24" fluted SS, Mauser GEW 98 action,Boyds laminated stock, Bold trigger. So far it has broke in good. After about 30 rounds 1 wet patch and 2 dry and it is clean. with UMC factory loads it shoot about 3/4" @ 100 yds. with reloads 168 gr. match sierra hpbt it does a little better. I am working on the loads for it now and I think it will be a pretty good shooter, for a plinker. Dave
