Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Mausers and Military Rifles How do you bed a Mauser?t

I made bedding blocks so Mauser barrelled actions could drop in and play musical chairs with bedded stocks.
The idea was 3 points of contact for rifling torque reaction; the two bottom sides of the recoil lug and the rear pillar
The idea for the rear recoil thrust was a steel face against the lower part of the recoil lug.

I knew this was hard to make compatible with 98 Mausers and 1891 Mausers because of length, so I did not. The surprise was that some Mausers are cast. The bottom of those recoil lugs can be rough as a cob. If there is enough metal, those recoil lugs can be milled flat.
