Good point guts. I'll take a look tomorrow and see if I can put the range on the east side of the property facing north. I plan to make the range extend just about the length of the lot, so about...

I'll look into no blue sky ranges, I'm seeing some designs I actually like. I'll be looking more into who to contact in my area for any needed safety guide lines. Although, I am quite a ways out so I...

The idea is that the trench will be the range, so the berm would basically be the ground itself.

And as for the wooden arches above the target area, that's actually a good idea. I might be able...

I figured this was the best section to bring this up at.

Okay guys so I have a 2 acre lot, the south and north side of the lot is 300 ft. I have a 8mm Mauser that I'd either have to go to a range...

As far as a scope mount goes brass stacker makes one. I have no idea how good they are, but I heard they're decent. No drilling or tapping and you can still use iron sights.

I don't think it's worth starting a new thread to ask this, but I was wondering what ammo I can shoot from rifle, if you guys know?

I was thinking about buying this ammo:
Mauser, 8x57mm JS, .323...

It looks great! I'm actually surprised how well it worked, looks like a totally different gun.

Sadly this didn't work, I took out the trigger assembly and had to punch the pins out then smacked the plate from the inside.

A replacement for the follower spring? Oddly enough, I put the gun back together and it works fine now... Loads and everything with no problem. My guess is it wasn't getting caught on some...

I FINALLY got the freaking plate out. I had to punch out two pins that were in the trigger guard. I'll show pictures. I think it really was rusted shut, because even then I had to use a little bit of...

Should of clarified, that's what I meant. For things such as bolts and what not.

I believe this to be the case. I wiped off the stock where it was crumbling and underneath it's fine. I don't the rifle has been field stripped for quite some time... Also, it's pretty humid in...

I'm more worried about a working rifle. I don't these Turkish Mausers are super expensive anyway. I plan to re-blue it anyway. Also, electrolysis would remove the bluing wouldn't it?

Oh, okay. That would makes sense haha. Thanks! As long as it's not a big deal i'm not going to worry about it.

For some smaller parts, you can try vinegar. I'm trying it with my gun currently, and I've used it on bolts before. Just about 1/2 vinegar and 1/2 water (or all vinegar if you like..) and soak the...

You can't tell it in the picture, but the stock is actually acting like it's wet... and the inside is mostly crumbling, hopefully it's just on the surface. The stock is incredibly brittle for some...

Here's some photos of the gun taken apart. For some reason the stock has holes drilled in it? They're all connected and I think it may be some sort of...

I took a look and there appears to be a good deal of rust. I'll post pictures soon, but there is some bad pitting... Hopefully it will be visible in the pictures. The pitting is noticeable, but I...

I bought a 1903 Turkish Mauser yesterday. It was manufactured in 1937 and has a 29.5" barrel.

It's in rough shape, and costed me around $175. It has the cleaning rod, and comes with a sling. The...

Thanks for the help guys. I plan to buy a Turkish Mauser for myself, as this one is my little brothers. Aside from needing to be field stripped and cleaned it's good... The Turkish I want to buy is...

Thanks, I appreciate it. It's a m48bo, since it has no marks on the receiver. It's good to know the exact variant that we have. :) From what I can tell the value should be around $300? It's fully...

Sorry, here's an IMGUR album of the gun. Dads Gun - Album on Imgur I can take a picture of the whole rifle all at once, but it's difficult considering how big it is. All the pictures I took are of...

So this is technically my brothers Mauser. My dad gave it to him, and my dad bought for like $40 from a pawn shop before I was born (I think?) and no ones much about it. Dad just says it's "an 8mm...
