I finally picked up the 1909 Argentine mauser I've been wanting for the 9.3x62 build I'd like to do, this will be a nice sister rifle to my 7x57ai arge.
I've always wanted to build a 9.3 just feels right in the mauser action like the 7x57 does. This is a because I can rifle I'll never need the power the 9.3x62 offers, but will make a nice bear or heavy cover gun.
I'd like to give it a safari/germanic look, I am looking at the 23.5" lothar walther cm barrels there $270 would not mind a Shaw but wait time is very long now. Sights I'll probably use necg sights, I'd like a banded front and one flip up or more for the rear. Talley barrel band sling stud. Probably get the same Richards micro fits stock like on my other or one of the safari type stocks, 1" soft recoil pad.
I am considering to drill the base holes 8-40 thread for the recoil, I have Talley bases I'll use and qd rings I've got. I'd like a ruined round commercial mauser bolt handle, I need to see if I can find someone with a tig welder for that. I'll rust blue everything when it's all done.
I'll do some swing m70 style safety think The gentry customs is about $180
The rifle is in decent shape, there's some pitting in the barrel but that's going anyway. Under the wood looked all good the rails are untouched which is nice. The extractor is a tad weak but I may have to mess with it I can get others. Bolt face is very nice.
Before I get the money to start I'll see if I can get 5 9.3x62 cases and a few bullets to test feeding before I buy stuff. This will be a long project but will be fun and worth when it's done.
