Anything to do with rifle shooting, plinking, target, benchrest etc

Long story short, I ended up with 5 1888 Mausers (Commission rifles) today, three stocks, the other two just barreled actions. Only have one bolt.

Bores plugged with construction foam & slathered in oil... what on earth do I do??? (Pics to come) :)

Found two gems in the rough out of the five.

One bore cleaned up PRISTINE. Not a spot of darkness, with clean, clearly cut rifling the whole way. The other is a teeny bit darker, but still stellar. Nail polish remover & engine degreaser are good friends of mine.

I just can't close the damn bolt in any of the actions. :?

Hmmm.... I think I have a half dozen or so rounds of 8x57R with the .318" bullets, if that's what they eat.

Stand them up in your room, put a sheet over them, make it into a fort...
