I know economically it doesn't make sense, but I just want a mauser to say I have one. I see bronells sells short chambered barrels if this one is toast. Other than that drill and tap for a scope and a better trigger is about all I want to do to make it a fun deer and paper gun. I also want a 1917 one day for the same reason. Just to have a part of history. I'm a savage guy and have 3 that I have built/am building so I have modern rifles covered. This is just for fun. Thanks everyone.

Czech PM sent on the 7x57 bbl as that's the caliber I prefer to do.
