1943 Husqvarna Bubba-Mauser

[dom1104]

This is how I bought it.



220 rounds of ammo, a set of reloading dies, a Simmons 3x9 Scope, and a set of high rings.

$150 dollars.

$15 dollars of paint and supplies, and an old Mueller target style scope and now it looks like this.



It is a VERY accurate shooter, and I think I found my new favorite gun.

Also experimented with some subsonic rounds.... lots of fun.

The next step in my first and only bubba-project, will be a Trench style mag, I got my hands on an old MG13 mag and I am going to see if I can up the capacity on this lil-darlin to 8-10.

Look out Coyotes, look out.

Bubba'd or not i think I am in love
But can you give some explanation on the "tape method" with the scope? I have seen it many times but could never find out the purpose...
Sorry for my possible ignorants, but I am just getting into using scopes

Wait, was it 150 for the rifle complete, or was it
you b ought the rifle then spent another 150 on it?

BTW, very nice rifle, I believe that Hasqvarna made a few series of Commercial Mausers based on their Swedish Small Ring action in the late 70-90??

$150 for the rifle, the cartridges, the scope, and the dies.

One of the best buys I have made in a while.

What is the point of the cardboard sheild on the scope?

 

[dom1104]

Its duct tape, and performs the same funtion as a killflash.

Its spray painted brown, which really does look like cardboard.

It's hard to see the action. Is it a 6.5x55 caliber?

6.5 x 55

I explain it to my AR buddies as 6.5 Grendal Long Action.
