Controlled Round Feed

butch,
i don't think these actions are availible from any of the suppliers now but they do pop up occasionally on the auctions sites. numrich had them before they stoped selling receivers & any ffl items, i don't know what they did with the ones they had in inventory. you may try contacting old western scrounger, the same guy who owns them owns gibbs rifle co.& he bought out all of p-h's inventory & tooling. i got the m85 from him, i don't know if he has any left.

these receivers do not have the inner c-ring like a military action & do not have the bolt guide slot broached into the top of the action so you have to remove the guide rib from the bolt or broach it into the action.
the repeaters used special bottom metal that took m14 mags, i've never seen it for sale so i'll have to make my own. other than that they are just commercial mauser actions with a flat top. if i would have known numrich was going to stop selling them i would have bought a bunch of them
 
dirtyjim,

That lower action looks like the single shot action that Parker Hale sold for Palma style shooting not that long before they went out of business.

They wouldn't have Spanish identification on them, would they?

john,
the bottom action is one of their single target actions. they also made a more traditional style single shot mauser action for a short time. there are no spanish markings on them, only the ser.# & parker-hale birmingham england.

butch,
i also have a m85 bare casting that i would let go if your interested.
it needs the barrel threads cut, action holes drilled & tapped, trigger pin hole drilled, top finish milled & the center reamed a little for the bolt, its a few thousands undersize right now. the lug raceways are already to size.
 
I purchased a receiver like the bottom one from Sarco several years, it was about 90% finished and needs heat treating does anyone know the type of steel they are made of 1020....1040 or ??.

dirtyjim, do you have any pictures of the bolt stop ejector setup it doesn't look like a standard 98 will fit and I need one for mine.

Ken
 
Thanks for the offer. I have 2 Mauser projects going now, a Pierce receivered rifle going, and another in the wings. I have a 10/XX unfinished receiver from Aleaddict that also needs attention.
dirtyjim, thanks again and if I can help you, let me know.

ken,
the bolt stop is from a parker hale midland 2100 & the screw that attatches it is a standard size machine screw. numrich has the bare housings for around $12 , they do not have any of the other parts. you can modify a military ejector to fit. the bolt stop works like a sako or husky hva but i haven't been able to find one to try out so i'm going to make my own.

i'm not sure what type of steel they were made of but i've had two of them rc tested & they both came out right above 40rc. i still have to get the third one tested to make sure it doesn't need heat treated.

butch,
i have around 10 projects going on & at least that many planned.
this one is almost done. its a 220 swift built on a columbian fn action. the stock is an old fajen beavertail & it has a waever k6 with a litschert 12x booster. all i have left is to ream the chamber & blue it. i was going for a 50's style benchrest look with it

Looks nice dirtyjim! A distance future project is a shortened mauser receiver and it will be a 250-3000.

Like the one in ROY DUNLAPS book GUNSMITHING? I'll take a half dozen my self. I saw the jig ROY made to do the work at his shop and should of tried to talk him out of it when I had the chance. That man sure had a lot of jigs he made for his own work and all of it looked vary nice.
