Hello folks,
I am current building a rifle using a old military BRNO VZ Mauser 98. I have never barreled an action before so I am naturally a bit aprehensive. I will be using a headspace gauge when hanging the barrel to the action, but are there any tips or warnings that I should be aware of?
thanks.
Oh, if anyone is curious it is a 8mm rifle that I'm converting to a .243 Win for varmit and steel target.
