No, I wish, that was made by LAGS Custom Gunsmithing in Mesa, AZ, no, he doesn't have a website. Do note, it has a spare mag holder in the butt, so if I am out woods walking, I have the VERY custom 10 round mag he made, (prototype, that why it looks weird), and the extra five in the butt, perfect for what I call the CZ 527 M/CSR, for Camp/Scout Rifle.
Mine's a custom 6mm Rem built by Portland OR gunsmith, Wes Reynolds, on a Czechoslovak commercial Mauser action! Butter knife bolt, custom made trigger guard and floor plate! It's very accurate! I'll never sell it!
He is. He rebuilds Mausers into practical works of gun smithing art. The stock was hand carved, inletted, bedded and pillared. The magazine retention setup on the bottom of the butt is hand made and works flawlessly. He's been rebuilding firearms for decades. Small example photo of some work he's done on non rifles, as well.Making magazines?? That man sounds like a true craftsman.
What's the 6mm round compare to recoil-wise?

These two Suicide Specials were part of a box of broken and "demilled" wall hangers out of a bar. The British Bulldog had never been fired, as it's barrel was actually .34 caliber, not .38. Larry rebuilt them all to working condition, which included making the hammer for the Bulldog our of bar stock, and many other parts on these two and three other little revolvers. The ammo he hand makes by hammering a 9mm cast slug through a .34 cal hole in a steel sheet, loading it into a necked down .38 Smith and Wesson brass loaded lightly for a 100 year old revolver.

This IS full recoil. I kid thee not.

Similar to the .243. Greater case capacity, so good for reloaders.
When they came out the public went with the .243 instead of the 6mm. Remington flubbed the advertising by pushing the 6mm as a combo medium game/varmint rifle, which it is but not with the factory rounds and twist rates of the time. With the hand loads the 6 is a great varmint round! It can pretty much turn a yodel dog into a head, tail and red vapor! They just didn't sell, so today factory loads are very hard to find! I'd just go with a .243 today and just avoid the hassle!

It's incredible that people have the skills to do this. You could give me a manual and everything else I'd need and I'd still be completely lost.
Very cool info. You sure don't hear much about it.
And the best thing? He does this for fun, not profit. Rarely can anyone get a project in to him as he has tons of them...and lots of Mausers to convert.
Well I'm down to one bolt action rifle, a Winchester M70 in 30-06, so I guess that is my favorite bolt action rifle, though my USGI .30 Caliber M1 Carbine is a close second.
That's cool, AM! Any chance of photos of his Mauser's?
This is him with a Spanish Mauser 1916 he converted from .308 to 8MMJS. He gave it to me, and I use it all the time now with cast loads. It was his first "rebuild rifle" and has been rebuilt so many times he can't remember what it originally looked like.

This is a Mosin he modified into what he calls the AKMN.

M1 carbine is not a bolt action rifle
