    270 Winchester on a Mauser-98

    This rifle is my first project that I built at the San Juan College gunsmithing class. It is a VZ-24 Mauser and the bullets it shoots are .270 Winc...

    A standard job when customizing a Mauser rifle is to fill in the locking screw holes, giving the bottom metal a smooth, custom look. Larry Potterf...

    theThinkerator theThinkerator commented:

    if you do not understand the requirement of tightening the receiver screws to a specific torque, for accuracy, they you, of course will not understand why you would want to do this.
