I always thought it would be nice to have a recoil pad put on the German Mauser. I looked them up on the internet,and found one company that handled them. Son talked to them on the phone, and gave them the measurements, they gave us the correct part number. Cost was around $28.00 + S&H. We ordered it and installed it today.Not as big of a chore, if you follow the suppliers directions.Now we are waiting for the snow to disappear, so we can check the sighting. It has been re-chambered for an -06. It had a loose front sight,which a gunsmith corrected for us, we never did check out the work after it was done,but we will.Makes a nice secondary hunting rifle.
What or how many of you guys ever put on on yourselves? Just wondering,
Regards,
LOU

I do a lot of my own repairs on my firearms. But I also have a few manuals on how plus the son has a friend who is in the Guard who took military gunsmiths schooling so we have him for the stuff we can not do
 
I do all my own smithing except for boring. I am thinking of getting some checkering tools and trying my hand at that down the road. Nothing like a fine firearm.
 
I have a good friend that does gunsmithing as a hobby/second income. I take virtually all of my gun work to him because I know that I will get A-1 work for a reasonable fee.

I don't know if you were asking us or old.
All we know is it fires a 30-06 shell, I bought the gun thru SEARS when I worked for them. The barrel mic-ed out for a 308 bullet. Lands and grooves look fresh and new. So we are just assuming it's been rebarreled.It shows 30-06 stamped into the barrel,but all the original markings are still on the barrel also.It was very accurate before the front sight loosened up.

There must have been a lot of those guns made, I still see them advertised for sale in magazines. I had one a long time ago. Can't remember what happened to it. Stan
 
Old,
They have 8mm mauser ammo in the link.There used to be a company that would make the brass for your obsolete ammuntion.I can't find it off hand,but it was in a rifle magazine I seen a short time ago.

Link is to their 8mm section.

The problem is that the 8MM Mauser ammo is not the same as the ammo for the straight pull Styer rifle. The Styer is a 8X54 or is it 8X56 but either way the more common 8X57 will not fit into and let the bolt lock down
 
sears rebarreled a ton of those rifles in the 60's and 70's, those were either 7 or 8mm and had to be rebarreled as they couldn't be "rechambered" to 30-06 cal.
 
Yep. I want one... I was touring the Battleship Texas and on display in the Marine's space on board was a few racks totally full of Garands. Wow. I thought I had a pic, but I cannot find it.

My Mauser is still 8MM. It has a stamped steel butt plate. And if you remove that it has a swastica burned into the end of the stock.
 
(quoted from post at 15:01:50 02/16/14) He pretty much has to be asking you since I do not have that gun. LOL I do have an old German Styer in 8mm that I can not find ammo for

ohiojim,
Thats when I bought this one, the late 60's.First one had a broke stock, tried to fit a different stock the the old barrel, didn't work. I sent them both back and bought this one. Real smooth action. I believe it was rebarreled, that's why the front sight was loose after they rebarreled it. Thanks for the reply,
LOU
