Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats Mexican Mausers

ah....never get tired of seeing that D. Christman of yours. Did you commission that one or buy it elsewhere already completed?

Oh that thing. It's been pictured on here a couple times already. It's just another overvalued Mauser. Seen one ya seen 'em all. Talk about boring. NOT.

I had David Christman build it a few years ago.

I don't know Jay, but he is Regular Member of the ACGG.

Here's a few points:
where the checkering meets over the top of the grip
spur on the Silvers recoil pad
Nose of the comb where the grain flow meets from the perfectly quarter sawn blank.


Pics don't show up very big viewing the forum. If you right click on the image and select view image it has better detail.

I don't know. Christman did most of the metal and I stocked & rust blued it. Along with a small amount of metalwork.


A well done Mauser is so much more than just the sum of it's parts. It has a certain presence, lively & well balanced feel and natural grain flow as unique as it's owner.

Back to work......

Any idea what his current lead time is on a similar build?

The Mexican S/R M98 is just a pretty little action to start with. Add a few custom touches and it only gets more beautiful.



I'm sure James' leed time is long but I can assure you it's worth the wait!

Everytime you post photos of those custom Mexican's you have (or had) I start to feel nostalgic knowning one of them was once mine, but glad that you had the opportunity and the capital to do with it what I could not have done.

Very very nice.

I still have one of them. I sold the other before it was finished. I was just in too deep on customs.

I wonder how my 9.3x62mm Brno would look with the "knurled cocking piece" of the Mexican Mauser? I think that would add a touch of class

All it takes in money and a qualified 'smith. Could be done. The knob might clash with the butterknife handle though. M21 right?

Planning on replacing the handle with Oberndorf style. Yep 21

I say go for it. Only trick is finding someone with a suitable knurling set up. '36 Mex knobs are few and far between.
