Thanks! Glad someone commented that actually knows! Can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to address the myth of “they threw away the dust covers because they rattled.” May actually address that in a short come to think of it
If I can find a Siamese Mauser that’s complete with a bad or less than stellar bore I’m already making plans to re barrel it to 7.62x54R since a lot of reloaders already use 7.62x54r brass to convert to 8x52R and 8x50R Mannlicher. Already got a barrel from Ebay on the way and once I have it in hand I’ll have a local guy remove the sights and then it’s off to the barrel maker to have a barrel blank copied off its profile.
@@GreatNorthwestWeaponry I even managed to track down a set of technical drawings for the Siamese Mauser clips so once my brother gets his 3d printer going I might take a stab at making some clips since originals are rare as hens teeth and almost as expensive as the rifle.
