I will not hacksaw the barrel in any way, nor attempt to replace the barrel with anything else but keeping it original. I am talking about fabricating new parts, clamped onto any original parts. I'm not going to cut, drill, or reblue ANY original parts. I think you are misunderstanding me (whether or not this is deliberate, I do not know) I'm not so sure the "no longer classed as a firearm" WOULD still apply to a shortened 1891 Mauser any more than it might to a "zip gun" made of gas pipe. I just can't see trashing a "starter" in the same breath as recognizing it has "collector" value. If one can make Rem 700 actions that do not break, it should not be hard to do. I suppose you could design a link that goes around the magazine but there isn't a lot of space in the stock and the linkage would be kind of flexible unless it's kind of heavy.īut it's your project.I'm not at all fussed someone wants to do that from a clean sheet of paper. But even with its straight line link, there is excess slop in the trigger pull. It doesn't matter because it is a single shot. The XP-100 pistol has a forward trigger with a link that goes right through the area that the magazine occupies on a magazine rifle. I think you need to think out your trigger design before you do anything else. Even RPG's and other AT weapons are not much different. I'd want the longest sight-radius pragmatism allowed - Iron sights OR scoped.Ĭommon firearms have reflected that "firearm to human" pragmatic length in a fairly narrow range for several hundred years. Your conversion would be a poor substitute for just about ANY such real-production design, civil or military, legal or otherwise. If one needs a compact firearm? Those are for combat or defensive situations, real or simulated. What do you guys think?I'd say "sporterize" is the wrong word. but if it allows one to sporterize an old mauser without destroying its value. That means no permanent modification to the gun, furthermore I can clamp a scope mount on the barrel, use normal (not EER) scopes, AND not have to turn the bolt down at all.Īn added benefit is to shorten its overall length significantly while not changing its barrel length at all.Įxpensive and ambitious? sure. While both firearms do not fit each other, I just thought, what if I make a bull pup stock for an argentine mauser, use a connecting rod to release the sears. However I see that someone makes a bull pup chassis for a Remington 700. That means no drilling for scopes or anything. I have a 1891 argentine mauser, it's an ok gun but I really don't want to do anything permanent to it.
