What kind of rifle? And it doesn't look like you did too bad with the duracoat from the pictures...

It is a turkish mauser, the barrel is not torqued down yet. i just had it on the reciever for the picture. the original military barrel that was on it was chambered for 8mm mauser (it is also known as 8x57mm, 7.93x57mm) I have rechambered it for 6.5x55mm. i chose a short chambered barrel, meaning the you have to set the headspace in it. It took me 2 hours to cut the chamber to set the headspace. after i got it set, i cut a little more into the chamber to allow it to headspace when i torque the barrel down. all in all it has been a very fun pain in the ass.

I always knew you were a redneck I just dinn't know that you rifled your own barrels and other shit like that. Good job man. Round of applause.

That is awesome. I figured it was a mauser variant due to the bolt and the magazine.

Cyonotic, people like you are the reason that firearm laws are as tight as they are now. With a comment like that it would not suprise me if you went and shot a school up.

great job trooper! the gun looks great, some real impressive work.

and also everyone knows gun laws were created so if someone went crazy and got a gun illegally no one could defend themselves against the crazy.

a k98 is chambered for 8mm mauser , its proper designation is 7.93x57mm and is pretty close to the 30-06 in shell size.

Anyhow, I got the barrel torqued, here are some pictures.

You have a skill, thats for damn sure. Looks great!

I know that this is kind of a personal question. But have you considered opening a gun shop of some sort repair/restoration/selling ammo. Annything like that would be right up your alley. Unless you just do strictly it as a hobby....
