Hello All in TFL Land. I was flipping through the Shotgun News this week and saw a Turkish Mauser Receiver (no barrel or stock) for between $40 and $50 in good to very good condition. A few things I was wondering are:
1) Is it worth the money?
2) Can I build a .243 out of it?
3) How hard is it to put a scope mount on it and how much would it cost?
4) With a good barrel, am I going to get good accuracy out of it?
5) What would I be expecting to get in good to very good condition?
I was wondering these things because I was looking for an inexpensive varmint rifle ($400-$500 Canadian) and all I wanted was a reciever. I appreciate any help I can get.
