Just got my Countryside magazine, and it has an article about a 'junker Mauser scout rifle
' and I mean it is a scary hack job. I have seen many such rifles come out of the trailor parks and backwoods hollers. Victims of people unskilled and use to mocking up cars and lawnmowers, trying their hand at gun modicifcation. HOWEVER this one takes the cake when he 'deepens' the threads of a Large Ring Mauser barrel to fit a small ring............
WOW is all I can say. He suggests trying to write an article for BHM about ANOTHER hack job article. It is to say the least the most DANGEROUS how to article I have ever read, the reloaders here will get a scare out of it too. Check it out, don't know if it is online, but it is a primer for what NOT TO DO. Seriously, it is bad foo joo.

I read it too. Real scary, cutting threads with a Dremel tool. How can anyone freehand threads on something so important and be accurate. Plus, he converted it to .308. I hope he only injures or kills himself with that abortion.

I couldn't find it either, but have seen other "Bubba projects" from time to time, in other periodicals, as well.
The warning is heeded, and it to bad that common sense is so hard to come by.

I have seen some hacksaw crowned krylon gloss green and brown hacksaw jobs in my time, but this has been the worst most likely to blow someone up rig I have ever seen, especially in a published article by someone who............. unqualified is just not enough.

I made a copy and sent it to my Gunsmithing instructors at both schools.

I liked the loading advice. It might work better if he removes the firing pin and uses firecracker fuse to light the charge. Save on primers that way..

I looked at it in B&N the other day. Timebomb. That rifle needs disassembled and the receiver torch cut.

You say school like CST should be considered one. Bah humbug. They owe me a refund, and come to think of it never contacted me to get my Dakota M98 action. So in essence they have stolen that.

Bitter much? LOL. Call em up and say -Pay up sucka'.

It's not a great read or anything- my response that is- just thought it was interesting they did it, never meant for that to happen. Seriously though, it was a a terrible injustice to that gun.

People who do hack jobs like described most likely won't be around too long. Hopefully they are the only one's who shoot the guns they butcher. The guy should be shot for ruining a perfectly good Mauser.
