The last time I posted pictures, it brought out the Arfcom butthurt as I took apart an original Argentine 1909 to use.
This time, no one has to be pissed at me. Someone else did the dirty work. 
Three Argies, FN Carbine and a GEW. All but the GEW are matching number rifles. 
BTW - One of these Argies is an "A" series. This is the last Mauser I built. WWII mil action.

Wouldn't do it myself but that's some well done work, I'll give it what it deserves. Wanna build me a .458?

Sporterized Mausers are great.
Bubba doing it himself is just wrong. Doing it right is expensive. |

I'm in to watch the butt hurt flow.
Quoted:
swanky checkering.. Hand or MMC tool? I heard a rumor that J&R Engineering bought WE Brownell. I wonder if there is any truth to that, I would like to buy a few more handles. I also noticed that Gunline cutters were back in stock at Brownell's so I guess I ought to stock up, I like their single line cutters. Never mind about J&R. But I would still like to run down some handles. |

There are so many already for dirt cheap that it doesn't make much sense to "sporterize" any more unless you just want a project.
Nice stock on that German one. |

If you can get them to deliver.... I have three. Wish I had more. Need to call some friends and see if your rumor has any legs.

Getting the proper weight in a reasonable length is going to require a custom profile barrel. I'll get around to it one of these days. |

I have 4 or 5 WE Brownell's handles, but I would like to have that many more. |

Lost touch with him when he decided gunmaking was not his thing. I recognized the Ed LaPour. His site is great for inspiration. I bought a barreled action online, just because it had one of his safeties. |

I will burn in hell for the Mausers I have torn apart.
Many turned into fine rifles for their owners. It's the low dollar hack jobs that hurt. Threw most of this BRNO Zkk-600 away to build my 404 Jeffery's. Still in the white. Picked the blank for strength not figure.
