Source for 71 and 71/84 Mauser parts?
- Thread starter Killer Kanuck
- Start date
I've been keeping an eye on all of the above. Happen to know if a middle barrel band from a model 1871 will fit a model 71/84? These 2 guys should be here by the end of the week - looks like all the 71/84 is missing is the middle barrel band.
The M71/84 is also missing the stacking hook (was cut off the end of the magazine tube), and the triggerguard swivel.
The M71 wood was cut at a good place for repair, but finding replacement wood is near impossible. Barrel bands are real scarce, and nosecaps are really only available as repros that require fitting.

I've seen the replacement nose caps around, but the fact that finding a replacement carbine stock would be like finding a needle in a haystack, I think the 71 carbine will stay the way it is.
I've found someone with an 1871 middle barrel band (missing the swivel though). Would that fit the 71/84? Or would it fit the 71 Carbine to help tidy up the look of the forestock?

Well, the guns arrived, and on the way the stock for the 71 carbine damn near split in two. Don't know what I'm going to do with it. The 71/84 looks like it should clean up pretty good. Think I need a new firing pin spring (along with the middle barrel band) but should be a shooter.
