It actually looks pretty good except for the very high scope mounts for safety clearance. I'm not sure about how handy that one shown on GB would be. If you're looking for something more "modern" that creates higher pressure (like 762x51) then there might be better platforms to start with. and stick to low pressure cartridges (like 7mm mauser). then just be aware of the concerns related to the steel. Most people will tell you if you want to make a project out of your gun, change calibers, etc. It actually looks A LOT like the pics of the rifle you are looking at on gun broker, except I went with a black and grey laminate stock, and a dark grey cerakote for the finish on the metal. I converted the rifle to a sporting/hunting rifle and put a 7mm mauser barrel back on it. im guessing much of that hard use happened when it was shooting high pressure 762 NATO stuff. you could tell it was used HARD and used A LOT. I've got an 1893 that was converted by the spanish to 762 way back in the day. The spanish 1893 probably has the worst rap of them all. there is another person that claims to be an expert and claims the steel is just fine. For every person that claims to be an expert and claims the steel sucks. There's been an ongoing debate on the quality of steel in spanish, chilean, and pretty much ever SR mauser ever built online for decades. they are not the same rifle as their M98 large ring big brothers). fits the same after market stock as the spanish mauser (understand these are SMALL RING MAUSERs. the only real difference in the two rifles as I understand it is they changed the bolt face. I'm 100% suspect of those made in Spain and think that those made in Mexico are hit and miss quality wise.The 1985 chilean is a modified 1893 "spanish" mauser. IMO, the Sweds made the best SR military Mausers and those made for Chile by DWM are a close second.
If your bolt body has minimum inside diameter, you might need to buy a smaller diameter spring from Brownells. One that has dogged me when installing the D-T COO kit is that the inside diameter of the bolt bodies is variable enough to cause the firing pin spring to drag on some, but not on others. Since military Mausers were made in many different countries, there is some variability in dimensional specs. install a commercial style bolt shroud with a bigger gas shield. When I do anything with a pre-1898 style SR Mausers, I always do three things:Ģ. I've worked on a bunch of Swedish Mauser upgrades for myself and my Norwegian bachelor farmer friend. What sort of trigger and safety does it have on it?
