Wanted Mauser Scope Mount Drilling Fixture

[rookhawk]

Many were made. B-Square. Williams. Weaver. Pachmayr.

If anyone has a drilling fixture for a mauser I sure could use one. The costs of getting simple gunsmithing done these days are not justifiable, plus they tend to screw up more than they fix. Hence, I need the tools to do it myself.

I did not.

i think a local machine shop could do it on the cheap, so long as you provided the bases of choice as templates! tell 'em to put 8-40s here and there and slap some Talley's on it! If jigged up just right you could probably use bases as your guide (even if just for punch or pilot marks.) years ago, i did just that (so proud to take this old 257 to an indoor 100 yd range on a rainy day-owner opens up all cases and was pleasantly surprised! (i exit with tail between legs moments later, when I realize the base screws ever so slightly protruded into the receiver, effectively preventing the bolt from moving! haste made waste! so the owner told me about hunting in Eritrea and Ethiopia while stationed there in the Navy back in the 60s as a consolation prize.

I think you have to remove the barrel to use the jig? It would be above my pay grade for sure.

Find a machinist who can do this, a pin lug job. They won't have any trouble doing the base holes.

Here's the current project I need it for. It was made in '53 but remains unfired. I want to put some Talley bases on it and get QD rings engraved to match the original engraving for my youngest. I don't trust shadetree gunsmiths as they'll just mess up the gun setting up the vise. I live in a leftist state so there is no way a machinist would let me borrow some time on a bridgeport. Hence, still need a jig.
