Because why not. Bubba already got his hands on this 1916 Spanish Mauser, let’s make it something cool. Something that takes a detachable, impractical sized magazine, in a barrel length that is almost too short. (But legal ATF man) for 7.62x51.
 Attached FileAs it started next to a legit FR7. As you can see bubba gave it the bad touch. Bold trigger, turned down bolt, dumbass ported brake. Came with a tasco scope which I used to see if it was accurate and worthwhile to spend time on. Headspace was good with NATO gauges.  Attached FileBarely fits  Attached FileChoppy choppy  Attached FileAll contoured to match  Attached FileAll Mocked up |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I like where this is going. What are you doing for sights? Not set in stone yet. I have two ideas An FR7 rear sight I already have but it’s not the greatest setup. Or some combo of HK diopeter, and a non railed quick attach scope mount. I really don’t want to just put a rail on it, but it’s already drilled and tapped for weaver mounts. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Why not cetme mags? Go for the full authenticity Too beucoup. It’s wider than a M14 mag. I’ll think about it though. I’d have to remove the upper sheet metal weldment at least and because the cetme mag isn’t tapered, cut more out of the action at the front. |

With a big mag and the FR7 not-a-gas-tube you'll need to tell everybody at the range it's a semi-automatic bolt action.

Deatchable Cetme mags or bust. Maybe take a demil cetme and use the magwell and weld it . Thst way it fits the cetme mag and can narrow down to the mauser reciever. Two tack welds and see where it goes

Shh, don't tell people about MG13 mags, they're awesome for projects like this, and still cheap. They feed 7.92x57, 7.62x51 and 6.5x55 in various projects of mine. I'm not a huge fan of BAR mags, but if you need long action length, maybe.
Cool work. Pre-butchered milsurps are, IMHO, unless very historically significant or easily fixed, fair game. The spanish themselves butchered that 1893/1916 to a FR7, then bubba got it, so it's on like donkey kong. |

This is a cool build. I have a beater Spanish Mauser that was poorly sporterized I got for cheap. I don't have the tools to do something like this, but will be following it to see how it turns out.
ETA: I also have an FR8. It's one of the few milsurps where you can go to a random store and buy ammo for it. One of the great things about the rifle. Sure, it's far from perfect, but mine works fairly well. |

I did see an FR-8 online that had probably been SBRed and looked like it was set up to use a removable G-3/CETME mag. Hard to tell for sure just from the picture. Kinda wish I could have taken a good look at it in-person. |
