I am building a LW Mark X Mauser sporter on a Banser stock in ADL style. I will use a Remington ADL trigger guard and an ADL bushing for the front GS. My question is how to build or what to use for a liner in the mag well to hold the rounds in proper position. Any past experience or ideas would be appreciated. Caliber is 270 Win Thanks | ||

I've done it severalways. I've lined the mag box area with aluminum stock. I've use just glass on the side and steel along the front & rear. About as simple as they get is find an old m98 guard and cut the box off. I like the old stamped sheet metal ones for that. If you need them longer extend the sides. This is a blind High Tech  As usual just my $.02 Paul K | |||

When stocking a Mauser and 1903 Springfield from a blank, I've even done it without any liner at all except at the rear. Simply inlet the receiver down until the bottom flat is full depth and then scribe the inside of the magazine rail opening. Then remove the wood inside the lines with the drill press and finish up with chisels, maintaining the sides in the same dimension as the original box. I inlet a narrower groove in the bottom to center the bottom of the W-spring when asembling the rifle.

How did you keep the cartridges tips from indenting the wood during recoil? Jason "You're not hard-core, unless you live hard-core." _______________________ Hunting in Africa is an adventure. The number of variables involved preclude the possibility of a perfect hunt. Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt. Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry Selby's flat bed truck delayed the safari, Horn of the Hunter would have read like an indictment of Selby. But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure. -Jason Brown | |||

Thin coat of epoxy on the front surface, smoothed up afterward with a smooth rasp or coarse file. The rear of the box must/should have a thin steel plate to span the space between the top of the mag recess and the the bottom of the receiver, to ensure smooth loading and feeding, and you could also use this thin-plate technique at the front as well.

Here is an inexpensive Remington ADL long action mag box that you might be able to adapt: http://www.gunpartscorp.com/ca...d=93280A&catid=11939 I also like the previous posters idea of sawing the mag box off a scrap 98 Mauser trigger guard. | |||

I used an box from an old Mauser and cut it down. ddj The best part of hunting and fishing was the thinking about going and the talking about it after you got back - Robert Ruark | |||

I have a magnum mauser synthetic stock that has no nose on the bottom metal. The front of the magazine mortise has been impervious to battering by bullet tips for about 22 years now. It has been a 375 Wby, 300/8 Mag wildcat, 416 Remington and now a 458 AR. As long as there is enough of a skin coat of epoxy to cover the foam, you're good to go. "Experience" is the only class you take where the exam comes before the lesson. | |||
