no chatter about the mausingfield?

[Walkalong]

Dumb name, interesting action. Price is in line for a custom action.

I'm a bit confused by this action and will need to look into it further. Dakota Arms has offered Mauser style receivers for years so I don't see this as being a huge deal.

Integral recoil lug

Typically with Mauser style receivers, recoil lugs are used to the time the extractor cut on the short chambered barrel to the extractor on the bolt. The chamber is then finished reamed to the correct headspace once it's attached to the receiver. So how is the barrel timed with an integral recoil lug?

Compatible with savage small shank barrels and lock nuts

Does Savage offer barrels with extractor cuts to interface with the Mauser style claw extractor?

Just like on the controlled-feed large thread Savages, it does not appear to be necessary. It seems the extractor sticks forward no more than the rest of the bolt face.

It's amazing to me that somebody takes some of the most loved features from an action and puts them into one body. Then many rip them for not having more features and complain about the price. And everybody wonders why innovation is dead. For what it is worth if I had the money I would buy one.

Good to know. I'd like to see one of these actions close up but it does look like a very well designed and manufactured receiver. I missed it at the SHOT show. The videos on their website are excellent and I like the presenter/designer's delivery of the information. I would prefer to see a three position safety on the cocking piece like my AIs and Kimbers but regardless, any Mauser style receiver that can accept a variety of readily available barrels is a great idea. Maybe this will be a big thing after all.

HATE the bolt knob.

Yeah - that kind of kills it.

From the photos, though, it looks like it might be replaceable. Regardless, the price makes it irrelevant to me.

 

[jerkface11]

The specs listed in the first post say the bolt knob is changeable.

 

[Arizona_Mike]

He has an entire video devoted to bolt knob design. Clearly has an allen screw in the end if you don't agree with his design philosophy.

Fella's;

I'd never heard of it either till I ran across this thread. I highly doubt that I'll be buying one though because I'd need one like I need another hole in the head. I'm so gun poor ya know! Not only that, but I like the bolt actions with the bolt on the correct side, not the right side.

Elkins45, I had a lefty Zastava mini-Mauser. Now I have a lefty CZ527, the Zastava is long gone and not missed.

Taliv;

If I'd be correct in presuming that your post #35 is in response to my post, #34, then I had indeed already read and noted post #21. I posted what I did, because I do not see the parameters outlined in 21 as being applicable to my situation. Note, I have said that in effect I'm not in the market to buy any gun, "I'm so gun poor ya know!" The group buy is going on now, and I'm not in the market now. Will lefty Mauserfield's be available in the future as single item, not a group buy? No information about that situation for any of us lefty's, regardless of funds availability or inclination a year from now, from what I've seen on this thread.

More power to Mauserfield as far as I'm concerned. If nothing else it shows that some people have put their considerable amount of money in a new manufacturing enterprise. And that tends to speak well of how they see the general firearms market these days. I hope the market will support their business, but I'm not their market for the reasons I've put forth.

[taliv]

heh, from what i understand in the the group buy thread, they are actually $100 cheaper if you order them individually and the point of the gb is just that they will be the first 50 available. a little unusual

don't get me wrong. i'm not pushing them. just curious to get peoples' reactions

 

[jerkface11]

It is nice that with this action you'll be able to put together a rifle using a custom action and not need a gunsmith at all.

 

[jason.jardine72]

Keep me posted on the group buy sounds interesting !!!! Might be nice to have one around for a bit till I figure out a technical plan for its add ons!!!!

 

[horsemen61]

I want one now time to decide on a caliber maybe 6mm dasher?

 

[Slamfire]

I've busted Springfield M1903 ejectors, they are a bad design. Now the Mauser buffered bolt stop and ejector, that is a good design.

Wish them luck in introducing a new action.

 

[The Big D]

I've handled one in person. It was nice, but frankly I'd rather have a reliable source of CRF M70 actions than this.

 

[Txhillbilly]

This action has been around for a couple years. I spoke to Teddy on the phone and email last year about the Mausingfield action,it's a really well thought out piece. I want one bad,but once I totaled up the price of the rifle that I would build off this action I decided to put in on hold until I'm out of debt.

I've got other things to invest $7000 into at this time.

 

[Geno]

This has actually been a fun read. Someone put some serious reflection into design, trial and error. That 0.5 MOA guarantee is nothing to sneeze at either. But for me, a basic varminter, and non-competitive target shooter, the price is a bit steep.

My take: cool concept and it funds are not an issue, and it fits one's needs and/or interest, go for it.

Thanks for the thread, taliv!

That bolt is gonna waggle all over the place when run out. Nice that there's an option for people who like that sort of thing, though.

I do love the logic of the Mauser bolt "waggle" people. Does a Mauser bolt "waggle" or wobble when run out? Yes, it does. Why? Poor design? Shoddy workmanship? Well, how about design genius? Unlike your average Wally World bargain bin bolt gun, the Mauser action was designed for the rigors of combat, including possible contamination by water, mud, dirt, sand, ice and/or snow. The bolt was designed with enough clearance between itself and the receiver when opened all the way to allow contaminates to easily fall away. Yes, some people like that sort of thing a whole lot more than they like the offerings available in the big box stores these days.
