I am attempting to detail a couple of projects and John Speed's book on Mausers was mentioned as a good reference for ideas, etc. If anyone has one for sale I am interested in purchasing one...if not please let me know where I might be able to purchase.

Also, do you have other good references for Mauser projects that I should consider? I looking for ideas on how to spec. out a set of Mausers.

Thanks,

Try this link: Oberndorf-Speed

Other good references:

"Mauser Bolt Rifles" Ludwig Olson
"Bolt Action Rifles" Frank de Haas
"The Mauser Bolt Actions" Jerry Kuhnhausen
"Mauser Rifles & Pistols" W.H.B. Smith
"Modern Custom Guns" Tom Turpin
"Custom Rifles In Black & White" Stephen Dodd Hughes
"Custom GunMakers of the 20th Century" Michael Petrov
"Custom Rifles" Jeff Cooper
"Custom Built Rifles" Dick Simmons
"Custom Guns" Ken Warner
etc. etc.

jjs:

www.brownells.com should have the Speed book. I would also recommend Ludwig Olson's book. Also available at Brownells.

The Kuhnhausen book has a lot of practical information on sporterizing Mauser actions.

Thanks for the info....

Whatcha got in mind?

Terry,

Ideas!!!!

A set of three or four rifles. My goal is to have these rifles similar but matched more closely to their intended duty/use...I still have not determined what the chamberings will be except I am leaning heavily towards a 404 Jeffery and 375 H&H for the DG pair.

I thought purchasing a couple reference books would help out...got any ideas???
