My Mauser "Scout" rifle

[Mauler88]

Built my first scout rifle. the base rifle is a Yugo Mauser 24/47 8mm.
of course a rifle is never truly finished!!!! bent the bolt, sling, take off front sight....etc
anyway here are the pics.

That's a sweet looking rifle!!!! What stock is that?

[Mauler88]

It's the ATI Mauser stock. the scope mount is part of the stock.

that looks really cool. how much does it weigh? are you going to add back up iron sights?

[Mauler88]

with the bipod on it's about 8.8 pounds. after taking it off it's around 7.6 pounds.

as for the front sight it already has the original front sight. but that's just for show it dosen't do anything anymore.

However i can't see anyway to install a new front sight anyway unless i do some MAJOR mod to this stock or find someone who makes a extreamly tall front sight since the stock itself is really tall.
this is one weakness of this stock. standard monte carlo stock won't have this problem. but it's one of those in order to gain something you'll loose something deal. this ATI stock has a intergrated Weaver scope mount as part of the stock.
so it's money saved, this way ii don't have to buy a scope mount compare to getting the standard Monte carlo stock for the Mauser rifle.
