Uncle Grinch35 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.

Fury01Well that has fun written all over it!

dpcdI 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.

MileHighShooterWhat 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?

dpcdNo; 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.

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

dpcdIt 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.

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

hogfarmerIt 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.

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