That'll take care of all those Nazi sentries you've had roosting in your trees.

What was the cost to build?

Not including shipping or sales tax

Large ring action 150
Stock and hardware 102
Headspace gauges (go and nogo set) 80
Conversion kit. 160
Mag release assembly 10
Mag 10


The barrel is 16.5" long. And mostly had the military profile, but the military barrels were roughly 24" so I had to cut the stock down and pin the bayonet lug back on in a way that made it look as original as possible. Also it looks a bit silly but I can mount the bayonet.

Fyi This is not a plug and play operation. You don't need to be a gunsmith per say, but there will be fitting required, both with the stock and some of the adapter pieces.

Feeding is at the moment somewhat reliable, but it needs to be tuned. Problem with the mauser action is that it has to feed from the mag correctly as the extractor cannot jump over the round like on other styles.

Large ring mauser is the easier conversion, but most instructions are on the small ring setups cause they are cheaper
