Big Bore building project: Building a .500 Jeffery on a Mod 98 Mauser action.
Good day to all members.
I decided to commence with another rifle build. I decided on a .500 Jeffery rifle that will double as a hunting rifle and a Big Bore shooting rifle.
There will not be a time frame on this build. I will use any spare-time available while busy with work in the gunsmith shop. This build will be with the guidance and permission of Johan Greyling my mentor and good friend .
What do I have :
A Mod 98 Mauser action.
A Turkish Walnut blank
What do I still need:
A Lothar Walther barrel.
Re-loading dies
Brass
My planning:
Blue printing the action.
Build a drop box magazine to fit three rounds
Build a compact heavy stock
Build a v-express quarter rib
Build a front sight with flip up hood and night sight
Build a Buffalo horn grip cap.
My aim is to build a dangerous game rifle that will fit me perfectly.
I will upload any progress with a description of the processes involved. This will be a fun project and a learning curve for me. Input from members will be welcomed.
Gert
