Once upon a time it was common to hear of Mausers being modified for long magnums by welding two receivers together. I know that there would be quite a bit of work, but I would think that a master metal-smith could produce a nice "magnum Mauser" using this method. Is anyone still doing this, and what is the approximate cost? Jason 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 | ||

I don't know who does them, but I suspect that buying a super high-quality 98 action from Granite Mountain Arms, Satterlee Arms, or Prechtle would be less expensive. Matt FISH!! Heed the words of Winston Smith in Orwell's 1984: "Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right." | |||

Probably about the same money; but if you stagger the cut you end up with one short action and one long action. So its a two-fer one. Short actions are much harder to come by from any source. "Experience" is the only class you take where the exam comes before the lesson. | |||

Right now I've got five extra actions that will be made available for sale during and after Reno SCI '09. They are inventory actions. 2 Ribgy actions magnum length 2 standard actions small ring 375 Ruger 1 standard action samll ring 06 These actions are all right hand actions. The smiths that can cut and weld an action toghether to make a good magnum are few and far between. I saw a 375 back in '99 done by Martini, it was very well executed.
