Hola good sirs.
I have gotten my hands on a fantastic project rifle for the purpose of learning how to rust blue and fill minor pitting with my TIG. It's a sporter Mauser with no markings whatsoever in (I assume, haven't cast the chamber yet) 8mm Mauser. I saw those 45 ACP conversions and it got the wheels turning. I own a lathe and have already made my own barrels from scratch so the sky is the limit. So what would you do with a blank slate rifle that cost you very little and too much time and motivation on your hands?
(I have a Schultz and Larsen in 6.5x55 so my long range target and hunting needs are taken care of. This is solely a fun gun or dream idea post.)
