Small ring mauser .223 project

[phishisgroovin]

if you guys know of anyone with a broken small ring (7mm spanish) mauser they may want to toss or get rid of cheap let me know.

i can send my contact info to you to give to them

i just acquired a custom mauser barreled action and reciever in 223 and i would like to build it

This will also be my topic for my progress as i round up parts and complete this little rifle into a Vermin shooter.

heres what i have as far as parts. not much needed to get it functional again.

Still debating on what finish i would like to put on it, thinking it would be sweet with a flat black Parkerized finish.

I've got one in .308. Not to bad but the first thing you should do no matter what is get a better trigger...right now, go get it right now, it's really that much of an improvement

[phishisgroovin]

i will most likely get a nicer trigger and throw this one on my 7.65 argentine mauser.
i want a nice 2 to 3-lb pull, but i have to spend my money on a parts rifle before i get a trigger.

[phishisgroovin]

so, i located two 1891 argentine mausers on gunbroker for under $100 each already sporterized.
Will be heading over to Yakima to pick them up. 

I will have replacement parts forever! lol!

I have a Spanish Civil Guardia 1916 in .308.  I bought it for a "scout" project.  Took it apart and lost interest.  I guess I need to find the parts and put it back it together.

I think i only paid $50 for my trigger including shipping. I had to modify the stock slightly to get it to fit but well worth the $ spent.

heres the donor rifle i will modify into a 223, picking it up tomorrow in Yakima.

One question how are you going to get it to extract or feed, and I quess that this will be a single shot?  The .378 head on the 223Rem will be too small for the magezine, bolt face and extractor?  Or are you planning a 223 WSSM and open the bolt face?

[phishisgroovin]

the 223 bolt face has been welded and machined by a gunsmith to accept the smaller 223 round.
Picked up my donor rifle today but i cant bring myself to modify it any further as its in seally nice shape and all the numbers are matching.
kind of hard to find that in these rifles.

[phishisgroovin]

sweet, getting the correct year mauser tomorrow to modify!

will put it all together, then make it pretty as i can.
After i get back to working again i will buy other things like an adjustable trigger.

Right now i just want to build it and go shooting.

Just saw the picture of your doner rifle, I just picket one up yesterday that could easily be the twin. sporterized the same. M 5000 serial range, 1895 I think. Mine is all numbers match, crest is removed. seems like every part has a proofmark of some kind on it.
Keep us posted with pictures of your project!

well, i cant bring myself to modify the 1891 or my other 1891 or my 1916, i am trading $20 and a remington mod 33 tomorrow for 1916 small ring spanish mauser i will instead modify, its already been sporterized heavily, so its going to be modified even further now lol!

i will core out the buttstock like a ruger 77/22 boat paddle stock and do some kind of finger grooves in the forestock (after i figure out what i want to do there).

heres what i am picking up tomorrow and will start the mods tomorrow night, or atleast tear it into 100 pieces and puts parts i will use into kroil for awhile.

[coriantonk]

I think I recognise that work bench 
I love those rem 33's looking forward to meeting you tomorrow.
