35 Rem Mauser
Dpcd built the barreled action for my SR 35 Rem. It was planned to be a Mannlicher, but I had to shorten it up due to warping issues.

Can’t post pictures here but posting the link for Tom to see.

Well that has fun written all over it!

I like it.
For those wanting to build a user friendly custom rifle, and are wondering about strength of Mauser actions (lots of discussion on other threads here about that), the use of a 93 action in this case is apropos for a 35 Remington. It is not a $6000 build, but it is, nonetheless, something the owner can take pride in. Resale value? Don't worry about that.

What a cool little gun!


If you think every possible niche has been filled already, thank a wildcatter!

Did you have to do anything to the extractor to handle the smaller rim of the 35 Rem?

No; they work as is. Even on Swedish 96s, I swap extractors until they work with 35 Rems and they have a bigger bolt face than .473. While they don't hold cases as tight as larger cases, they are good enough to function well.

One of those would be a perfect woods rifle for whitetails. I may have to call dpcd one of these days.

It is actually a very popular request; the old 35 still does the job in spite of all the new fangled cartridges; within 200 yards. I did one last year on a 91 Argentine; a very smooth working action.
My personal one is built on a Swedish 96 with a xx English walnut stock.

That '91 is indeed a peach, I love it! - here's the link to my report on AR back then:

It indeed seems like a perfect use of a pre-98 small ring. It's been one of my "back burner" projects for several years now.

I had forgot about Steve's 91. That one turned out nice too with that fiddle back original stock.
