So I got her built, but still need top wood, barrel band, and nose cap. Sending her to the
GS for head-space check this wknd, should have her back next week. Barrel tightened up about
24 degrees past TDC (top dead center), so had to relocate sights.
Almost there! can't wait![Thumbs Up](images/smilies/TUp.gif)
she's the one on the bottom

Tahoe, That looks like an entertaining project and about the only way to come up with a low cost rifle in this era. It will be a handy shooter in a caliber that I like too. Salt Flat

Thanks Salt Flat, I've got $170 into her ($220 counting shipping), maybe $50 more for the other parts needed. That's still cheaper than any budget gun, if I get 2 MOA I'm happy, I hunt some thick woods with the occasional 100 to 250 yard clear-cuts, so iron sights on a handy little carbine are just the ticket. That 7.65x53 cartridge is still awesome after 125 years, 150 grns @ 2600-2700 fps and 180 grns @ 2400-2500 fps still gets the job done.

Good job tahoe2. I thiught that I was the only that done such things.
Here is a pic of a frankenmauser I built. It's basically a VZ-33 small ring 98 in .308.

Complete Czech
stock set, 1917 Erfurt KAR98(a) receiver, 19" barrel of unknown origin that I bought off of Gunbroker. It has the rear sight from an FN carbine and the front sight from a K98k
. Oh, yeah, a reproduction VZ-24 sling.
It's light weight with a handy length and it shoots great.

Everyone needs at least one "fantasy" mauser - my faux standard Modell - RC barreled action, 1909 Argie bolt, mystery beech stock with trench art, Turk hardware:

I'm working on one thats pretty weird. I started with a BNZ 44 action. I couldn't find a cheap K98
stock so I ended up with an already messed with but fixable VZ24 stock. Also found a decent barrel of unknown origin but of the correct length (with the old stlye eagle markings). I'm not drilling or tapping or modifying anything so if I do find better bits at the gunshows I can switch them out. I'm into it for about $200. Salt Flat

Nice guns guys !! Can't wait to see yours Salt! I love the way mauser parts fit together,
just a little "massaging" goes a long way, it baffles the mind!
