Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Mausers and Military Rifles G33/40 Mountain Mauser rifle help

Wise men speak because they have something to say, fools because they have to say something.

Their property, their decision.

And dumbasses spend 3 grand to make a 400$ rifle and don’t know why they do it lol

You should learn a little more about z1r before suggesting that he capable only of creating pawn shop specials.

I think this clown is trying to rack up enough posts quickly so that they can start scamming people in the classifieds. Clearly they have nothing of worth to contribute here.

Just found this pawn shop special at a gun show. Had I known that it is only worth $175.00, I would've passed on it.

I built a pawn shop special on a G33/40.... I even ground down the receiver bridge.... the horror... I had no idea I was breaking the rules... damn

Which one is this?

Yep someone spent a lot of time and money to re-make a model 70. Other than the stripper clip slot it’s a M70 clone lol. I just prefer the actual Mauser sporters like the Rigbys and such. If I wanted a M70 I wouldn’t have sold mine. You old farts can cry and post all the academy specials you want I still think there garbage. By a savage or make a real Mauser sporter period

Every post you make reinforces your ignorance on the subject.

Yep, you're a maverick. Gorgeous rifle!

Ok Einstein you tell me how that’s any different than a M70? And I don’t want to hear about the gas shield and safer design blah blah. When’s the last time you blew up a M70? And besides most of the academy specials are carried by people that wouldn’t know the difference anyway. What your making is a clone of a rifle that costs 1/3 of the one you butchered? And you still don’t get it lol. That’s ignorance

Why do you care what others do?

So as not to appear so sanctimonious, perhaps you could channel your energy and resources into a Mauser rescue enterprise. You might then save us from ourselves.

The op asked a question and I made my comment about what I think is a waste of a good rifle action. The DIY grinder was the ones that got butt hurt lol. I don’t really care about your grinded academy specials because there ain’t no way to make them useful to me again after you fired up the dewalt in them. I have my opinion which happens to be the only one that matters to me.
If you get butt hurt about my opinion of your grinder special probably don’t quote my post just ignore it and feel the satisfaction of knowing you took something that will never be made again and grinded it into something you can buy for a few thousand dollars cheaper at academy lol. It be about like taking a rare car model and chopping and Bondo it into a F150. Carry on

Wow! Nice addition to the campfire. He certainly knows how to make an impression.

z1r, the butt hurt "DIY grinder". I needed a good laugh today. A safe bet that he's forgotten more about Mausers than you'll ever know.

Perhaps you could show us your Rigbys. Then we can transition to a more cordial discussion about the superior attributes that would justify altering a Mauser.

Brother Fubar;
Good afternoon my cyber friend, I trust life on your side of the medicine line and slightly to the east of us is going well.

There are a few rifles that get posted here which just "do it" for me somehow and that's one of them.

Funny how rifles, horses, cars and I suppose even what we consider "it" in the opposite sex is different for us all, you know?

That one is "it" for me anyways and any old time you want to share a photo of it, please go right ahead.

The one and only G33/40 I owned didn't have the original bolt and the stock had been really worked over before it was painted flat black, but I bought it and passed it along to another fellow looking for just that.

If I read Ludwig Olson's book correctly, nobody is truly certain how many military 98 rifles were made under German occupation and in their factories, but safe to say it was millions.

Anyways likely enough or hopefully enough that we're all able to do what we believe is best - well or the most fun project.

Best to you folks and thanks again.

Dwayne

Any clown that can't see the difference between this and an Academy special or Model 70, well, not sure anything needs to be said.

Nice build.
