I just finished her up...after have parts sitting around in boxes & bins for a few years,I decided to make something out of it,as cheap as possible.
I have successfully made a Mutt from an assortment of Cetme,Hk,Century and my own handmade parts and some other misc stuff.
I found a Muzzle brake on a Mauser barrel I had never used,much to my suprise,it was theaded 15x1.
I landed the sar8 stock set from AK.I did some reshaping and refinished the buttstock via Black spray-on bedliner.I origially puchased a Falcon made Psg-1 style grip from Midway...but I hated it.So I sent that back and traded for the Unmentionable Promag Hk copy bipod.I actually like it,after I recut the detents for a more positive lock up against the forearm and pinched the pivot "ears" together to remove some wobble.
I attached it to the forearm with two long machine screws after drilling out and tapping the holes.I welded a steel "eyelet" to the underside of the cocking tube to attach the forearm to.
I also machined of the rear sight and left off the triple...so the barrel is "free" floating.I drilled and tapped the receiver for a scope base and installed a scope I had that was collecting dust. I may change it to a Weaver Grandslam system later (marlin 336).
I set the barrel in and drilled it out for the cross pin.I set the bolt gap to mid specs.I played around with the trigger parts to get a better trigger pull with minimum creep.I also added the paddle release buy using the original parts(paddle,bushing,pin) and a solid pin made to fit inside the original pin.With the receiver drilled and everthing installed and held in place by the small pin.I welded the pin holes over and machined off the welds.
I also didn't "clip and pin" the trigger housing...I chose to weld the pin holes closed,but left the ears.
All in all....Spare parts and a little time...made me a nice plinker.
