You the know the saying even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then? Well, today I did! It's already been cut on so the Mauser collectors can sleep well tonight (I probably won't though  ) Actually it's not a bad looking rifle as is. A little dated but still nice looking. One thing that really bothers me though is the barrel is marked .257 Roberts and the rifle has been rechambered to a .25-06 and not remarked, not cool. Did I mention I got it for $350, HAR! Right now I'm thinking a 3-position M70 style safety, straight Oberndorf style bolt handle, a feather weight 7X64 barrel and maybe a mannlicher stock. I've got another Mauser project I'm collecting parts for that I'm thinking I may need to liquidate and concentrate on this one. I've always wanted a G33/40 and thinking full speed ahead on this now. Mike Mc, you reading this?  ![[Linked Image]](http://photos.imageevent.com/lucky/miscellaneous/huge/20141215_123642.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://photos.imageevent.com/lucky/miscellaneous/huge/20141215_123718.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://photos.imageevent.com/lucky/miscellaneous/huge/20141215_123611.jpg)

If you chamber it in 7x64 , then you need to really consider a nice piece of walnut. The money you saved getting this far can go towards the wood. A Mcswirly........ wth is wrong with people! lol
P.s. Please put some other kind of scope mount on it also.........

Sweet deal TC1, a 6.5-06 AI in a nice stick of English with a bit of case coloring here and there would be one beautifully different hateful bitch.
Trump Won!

TC1, Congratulations on your find. Several years ago I found a G33/40 action listed on line for $350 I had never actually laid eyes on one, but knew all about them I didn't hesitate and bought it! Well a month later I was in the local gun shop and there on the rack was a Mauser sporter conversion marked G33/40 for $250, I couldn't believe it and bought it! Lightning struck twice! I have enjoyed viewing your Mauser's and your G33/40 is in good hands! i hope you post pic's and progress photos. Here is mine after I worked it over. ![[Linked Image]](http://i827.photobucket.com/albums/zz195/irfubar/IMG_1083.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i827.photobucket.com/albums/zz195/irfubar/IMG_1085.jpg)

Apparently a lot of folks don't "know" TC1. It will be proper, pretty and functional. I will also be of steel and walnut.
Conduct is the best proof of character.
