I am starting a "conversion" for my 98 Mauser (8mm). I have owned it for many years and all of the serial numbers match. It is a 1949 Spanish Mauser.
I am going to make a carbine out of it. I will cut the barrel down to 16".
I am also building a new trigger guard assembly that will hold a 10 round detachable magazine.
Before I do all this I want to know if the existing rifle has value to anyone. I would rather start with a receiver group that has no other parts (obtainable) than destroy something that might have value to someone.
Any thoughts?
