TomG,
This was a complete rifle. I bought two Turkish Mausers for $60 each. They are getting harder to find and more expensive. I put an ad looking for Mauser rifles online in a local forum. There out there, these were just two that I had been offered. Funds were short so I just bought these two.
HighPower,
Yes I did make the lapping tool from scratch. I figured it would give me a change to practise threading up to a shoulder. Like your lapping tool, I had originally thought about going that route, but decided to practise threading a barrel. I will be sporterizing it, the stock had been cut up. I haven't decided on a barrel yet, but it will be in either 7mm-08 or 308. What size lathe is that in your picture of the action mandrel?
