Finished up two old Mauser project builds today, no worries I would never tear apart war guns, these were just parts and pieces I have had laying around and a couple ole actions from a bygone era of my building rifles.
The first one is in 6.5x55 Swede
Built on a M98 Styer action
Krieger 1:8 twist 22" barrel
Boyds wood stock, with my custom Woodland camo paint job
The second is also in 6.5x55 Swede
Built on a Yugo M44 action
Adjustable trigger
Winchester side safety
Wilson 1:8.5 twist 26" barrel
Boyds wood stock with my custom Urban Camo paint job
As these are old actions I decided to stay with the low pressure 6.5xx55 cartridge and load it modestly. These are just going to be simple target and maybe deer rifles. I am going to gift the M44 to my 13 year old nephew as his first rifle. The other will be added to the collection.
