That’s awesome man! Thanks for sharing!

Yep. Keeping it like it is in 7x57. Although, I did happen to get the tiger grain stock i mentioned in another post and I was able to get a 100 year old brand spanking new barrel. Never fired, never set in an action. Had the original cosmolene in the barrel.

Hey again! I’m searching for a Mauser 98 large ring stock for a 7x57 DWM barreled action. Looking for something unique and good looking. Not searching for a Boyd’s or 85% inlet stock or anything like that. I have a tiger stripe wood grain on eBay I like but nothing ever pans out well for me on...

Yea it seems to be too much work to be done on the metals and too much material taken away to make a magnum where that seems like it could have the slight possibility to be a bad day maker. I may just well make it a sweet little 7x57 and look for another 70 or 98. Just love the Mauser actions...

I haven’t looked in my reloading book at those cartridges yet or how available especially the Taylor is. I have a single stage I reload my 308 and a couple others with. I have seen 375’s out there but reloading it could bring it down a few cents hah.

All great info! Thanks fellas, I appreciate it. I’m not really determined to stick with the 375 but just want to make sure I have a cartridge that most African countries would allow for any type of game.

I have a pre ww2 Mauser 7x57 DWM Brazilian contract barreled action that I want to convert to a 375HH to make a type of “Mauser 98”. Has anyone done this? And what type of alterations would need to be done to the magazine and other things to accommodate that new cartridge? Thanks!
