I took my father-in-laws custom mauser to a gunsmith. It is an austrian re-barreled mauser chambered in 7mm rem mag.
The barrel is tapered for hunting, the iron sights were removed and filled with solder.
The gunsmith says the holes for the sights are deep and heating the barrel for soldering could have warped it.
I am getting 6in shot groups at 200yrds and I am trying to find out if this rifle is worth refurbishing.
