My first rifle is an old M24/47. Time flew by when I first cleaned her up. Magnificent guns. Fun to shoot and they feel good to handle. Only trouble I have is price for ammunition. Might as well go ahead and get into reloading as soon as I'm out of college.

How do you keep your receiver in the white so that it doesn't form patina or surface rust? I usually handle it wearing rubber gloves and I oil it once every three weeks.

Are there any mausers chambered in 7.62x54r?

Nowa days rc's are at least 600+. I want one so bad, but have no idea where to get one cept for gunbroker. JG sales used to have czech refurbished german made k98s. Those are nice rifles, where can you find those?

>What barrel did you use?
Nothing yet; have to decide on a caliber. It's a mis-matched ex-Romanian-contract Vz.24 with the bolt guts from a Kar.98k.

Hey; since you've got both how much longer is the receiver ring on the Peruvian M1909 compared to the Gew.98? Is the bolt correspondingly shorter too?

>>31632776
The only change is it compared to a g98 is the longer ring (longer forward) and raised charger guide.

>>31632828
So the bolts are the same length? Can they interchange?

>>31632889
Across mausers? No. Across calibers? Usually, one noted exception is that Yugoslavian mausers, though in 8mm, have a frustratingly slightly shorter action and so require specific parts. Otherwise an 8m is an 8mm regarding bolt length. All 7mm m93/m95 actions are the same if I recall correctly.

>>31632939
i meant to say 8mm. Gotta love mobile.

>>31632939
I'm referring specifically to the M1909 Peruvian Mauser vs the standard-length M98 action of the Gew.98.

Gew.98s sell for around $450 for total-mismatched Turk-used examples in fair condition to $1000+ for all-matching examples in good condition. There isn't the same demand for Gew.98s as there is for Kar.98k because Wehraboos don't care about German history before their precious Furor, however examples from small manufacturers or rare years can hit $2K or more. Kar.98A are about the same.
