Make: Western Field/Mauser
Model: M98
Caliber: .30-06/7mm-08
Location (city or county): Tennessee
Price: 1200
Will ship (Y/N): Y
Other info:
This is a project rifle I started but just have too many projects. This started as a Western Field (Montgomery Wards) Mauser .30-06. The original rifle has about 200 rounds through it and is in as-new condition. It has a beautiful walnut stock and the action and barrel are perfect. After doing some research I found that this rifle was built on a commercial Mauser M98 action which is one of the best, most desired Mauser actions on the market. I found an Adams and Bennet stainless 7mm-08 barrel and decided I wanted to convert this to more of an accuracy oriented rifle and not a hunting rifle. The barrel is a heavy contour and the chamber is semi finished. I have a custom reamer from Dave Kiff at PTG to finish the chamber. I did the barrel fluting. I also found out that this barrel was manufactured by Shilen and is button rifled, and only made for a short while for A&B, no longer available. I have fitted the barrel to the action, lapped the lugs, and intended to get a stock from Richard's Microfit but never have. This barrel will not fit the original stock. I also found a Mauser trap door bottom metal and was going to convert to a DBM and I purchased a Timney trigger. There are also a set of Weaver scope mounts. I still have the original barrel and stock so the rifle could be re-assembled back to it's original condition and would probably be shipped that way (assembled loosely) to your FFL.
For everything mentioned, including reloading dies, already primed brass, and a couple hundred rounds of 7mm-08 ammo, I'm asking $1200 + shipping to your FFL. Buyer to cover the fees.
More pics on request.
Thanks for looking.
