Re: Newly purchased Spanish Mauser questions

I will probably end up doing just that.
Any experts out there know anything else about my collection of parts on this rifle?

Newly purchased Spanish Mauser questions

I recently bought a Spanish Mauser from a friend who was hard up for cash as a restoration candidate for a fairly decent price due to his situation. I consider it a restoration candidate because of...

Re: Springfield 03-A3 never fired?

I always thought my first "piece of history" gun would be an old Kentucky rifle, I never thought a 03-A3 would fall into my hands in this good of shape. I figured my second would be an old Garand. I...

Re: Springfield 03-A3 never fired?

The rifle came from a locker in my grandfathers old house. He passed about twenty years ago, and the family never emptied out his old house, they just used it as it was. It was no surprise, everyone...

Springfield 03-A3 never fired?

I acquired a Springfield 03-A3, and took it with me to visit a gunsmith friend of mine. I take care of all my own guns and just wanted him to walk me through disassembling, cleaning, and reassembly,...

Re: New antique musket owner.

I removed the screws because I did not want to pull to hard. I thought if it was hooked it could be rusted together, The ("tang"? ) goes into the center of the back of the barrel. It is pretty rusted...

Re: New antique musket owner.

Roger that. I will be careful. The tab on the bottom of the barrel has rusted off. Thank you all for the help.

Re: New antique musket owner.

Thank you for the cleaning up advise. I was thinking of removing the barrel from the stock for this. Am I right in "ASSuming" that the two screws behind the barrel above the triggers along with the...

Re: New antique musket owner.

I can not find any markings on this barrel at all. The bottom under the wood is dry and rusty. Not flaky rust, just powdery, but still can not see where marks may have been.
Barrel is 40.5".

Re: New antique musket owner.

I will look for more markings and get you the barrel length. Is it ok to do a little cleaning on the outside of barrel or would that de-value it? I hesitate to do much of anything to this rifle...

Re: New antique musket owner.

As far as the bore goes I have only looked down the barrel with my eye, no scope. As far as I can tell it is only dusty/dirty. The hammer will come down although a bit slow. It does not seem to be...
