So I purchased a gun from a friend of mine and he threw in a bare Mauser action. Its a BYF-44 action and chopped barrel. It wasn't doing anything for him. Since there is no way to make it a "numbers matching" rifle I've decided to make something out of it. Gonna make it my hunting rifle. I will most likely go with a 308 as I have the components for that round in abundance.
I need everything. I will most likely go with an aftermarket trigger, a Timney or some such. However can y'all suggest the best places to buy parts for this? Things like the bolt, mag box, that kind of stuff?
Barrel will probably come from Midway or Brownells depending on who has what. I have a smith that can drill/tap for scope so that will at least be straight. It should be a fun little project. I just need a heads up on parts places. Thanks in advance.
