This video provides a detailed gunsmithing guide on how to reshape the tang of a Mauser rifle receiver. Larry Potterfield, Founder and CEO of MidwayUSA, demonstrates the process of modifying a Mauser 98 receiver to achieve a more streamlined pistol grip, a common practice when converting military Mausers into sporting rifles. The demonstration covers using layout fluid and scribing guidelines, then employing a mill bastard file for shaping. It also suggests using a grinding wheel or bench grinder for initial bulk material removal on harder metals, transitioning to a file for finer finishing. The video highlights practical techniques and tools for rifle modifications.
