I have had for sometime now a very clean, matching serial numbers 1909 Argentina Mauser Model 98 action. It is just sitting here and thought just maybe I should do something with it. Anyway, my question is: Could this be made into a 9.3X62 without much problems or terrible costs? It would just be a hunter....maybe dollars way head by buying a CZ already in that caliber? | ||

It would be cheaper to buy the CZ. Butch | |||

If you don't count the cost of the action you might be able to do it. Don't know what the "street" price on the CZ is, but I think the MSRP is right around $870. | |||

Craigster, You have a barrel, chambering cost, a stock and fitting, scope mounts and rings, trigger,and? The CZ would be a much nicer rifle for $870. To make the Argentine nice even with a glass stock would be closer to $1100. and that ain't a full custom. Butch | |||

Butch, The following $ figures are from ER Shaw: Barrel 155 Install and chamber 75 D&T for scope 45 Forge bolt 60 Bold trigger (side safety) 85 Blue 105 Shipping (both ways) 60 Total 585 If the CZ goes for 870, that leaves 285 for a plastic stock, rings and bases. Optional heat treating of action, add 100 to the 585. Have I missed anything? Obviously, this would not be a full custom, but it would work. Also, the action cost is not included. ER Shaw has it's pro's and con's, but that has been discussed at length in the past. | |||

If money is a concern you would be miles ahead by selling the action and buying the CZ. That said you could build a stunning beautiful rifle with the 1909 action. It wouldn't be cheap, but would be worthwhile. I used mine for a 9.3X62. Terry   -------------------------------------------- Well, other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play? | |||

Craigster, I suppose that you can do anything if you try. Doing it that way will not come close to the quality of a CZ. I would use the Argentine as Terry has on his beautiful rifle. Butch | |||

LOP is 14" I would guess the drop to be around 1 3/4". I got that wood from a guy that sells on eBay. He goes by the name DakotaCliff. He has a Hoenig (SP?) duplicator and a few patterns he sells copies of. I had my own pattern and contacted him for a side job. I had 2 stocks I wanted duplicated off the pattern and only one piece of wood. He said he had and extra piece of Claro walnut he was sure I would like so I bought it sight unseen for $400 and he threw in the duplication on that piece for free. I got an email when he was finished saying the wood turned out even nicer than he expected and I was in for a surprise. Yea, Cliff is a class act  Terry  -------------------------------------------- Well, other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play? | |||

Terry, how close was his duplicating? I've only got semi-inlets from his and was wondering how close he follows a pattern. Don | |||

All in all it was a great job. Almost a 1 to 1. Like with most duplications it was a little thicker on one side but nothing major, certainly nothing like his generic patterns. He leaves enough wood on those to build 2 stocks  Terry -------------------------------------------- Well, other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play? | |||

thanks Terry but I would have said 3 stocks! , gives you lots of room for creativity though.Don | |||

 BTW, the absalute best duplications I've ever got came from James Anderson and Shane Thompson. Terry -------------------------------------------- Well, other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play? | |||

I was planning on calling James or Ed Shulin anyway, I just like to know options. You never know when you might have to shift gears because someone is too busy to meet your turn around time. Don | |||
