Really my first post other than in the introduction section. Had some replies that everyone wanted to see Picts so here's a few of the Turkish Mauser I'm going to rebuild this winter. Just getting all my tooling done before hand.

This is a mandrel that I made to true up the front of the action. The non-threaded section is made to fit snug into the action if it doesn't go in that means the action is twisted or bent.
This tool is used to lap the bolt lugs. You screw the base into the receiver than insert the inner piece. The inner piece is spring loaded to provide pressure on the bolt as you lap the lugs. This piece still needs some work done before I use it.
This piece fits into the base and is loaded with lapping compound then screwed into the receiver. You can then use a cordless drill to turn the lap until you have contact on all parts of the inner shoulder. I may need to reduce the diameter so it will fit all the way down onto the shoulder.
