How To Episode 2: ATI Mauser Stock Install

This guide covers the general operation and maintenance of the Belgian Mauser Model 1935, a bolt-action rifle with a rich history. It emphasizes safety, familiarization with its Mauser 98 pattern action, and basic cleaning procedures. The rifle, chambered in 7.65x53mm Belgian, was a significant piece of Belgian military hardware during the interwar period.

This guide details the process of installing a short chambered barrel on a Mauser 98 bolt action rifle, as demonstrated by Larry Potterfield of MidwayUSA. It emphasizes the use of specialized tools like an action wrench and barrel vise, proper preparation of the barrel threads with grease and rosin, and precise alignment using witness marks. This procedure requires advanced gunsmithing skills.

This guide details the process of modifying a military Mauser 98 magazine follower for sporterizing, a common practice to improve functionality. Larry Potterfield from MidwayUSA demonstrates how to bevel the rear of the follower from its original 90-degree angle to a 45-degree angle, similar to commercial versions. This modification is crucial for ensuring smooth bolt closure when the magazine is empty. The process involves simple filing techniques, making it an accessible gunsmithing task for enthusiasts.

Larry Potterfield of MidwayUSA demonstrates the process of truing the receiver face on a Mauser 98 action. This gunsmithing procedure requires specialized equipment like a lathe and truing mandrel. The goal is to achieve a receiver face variation of less than one-thousandth of an inch for optimal barrel seating and accuracy.

This guide details how to check headspace on a bolt-action rifle, a critical gunsmithing task for ensuring safe operation. Larry Potterfield, founder of MidwayUSA, demonstrates the use of Go and No-Go gauges to measure chamber depth. Proper headspace is essential for reliable function and preventing dangerous pressure issues.

This guide details the advanced gunsmithing process for sporterizing a Mauser 98 military rifle into a custom hunting rifle. It covers action modifications, custom stock crafting, rebarreling, and finishing techniques, as explained by Master Gunsmith Larry Potterfield. The process emphasizes precision machining and aesthetic enhancements for a high-end, functional firearm.

This video provides an expert-level overview of a heavily customized AR-15, nicknamed the 'Zombie Destroyer', built for a thematic zombie apocalypse scenario. The build features an extensive accessory loadout including multiple optics, lasers, and flashlights, along with a high magazine capacity. The demonstration includes rapid fire, engagement of Tannerite targets, and unique shooting techniques, showcasing the rifle's capabilities and the instructor's proficiency.

This video details an extreme AR-15 meltdown test, pushing a custom build to its limits. Expert instructor Eric demonstrates the process, highlighting component durability and failure points under sustained fire. The test concludes with a catastrophic barrel failure after 830 rounds, providing valuable insights into the platform's resilience.

This guide details the process of conducting an extreme durability test on an AK-47 variant, specifically the Definitive Arms VEPR, as demonstrated by Iraqveteran8888. The test involves sustained full-auto fire to induce critical heat failure, followed by inspection of components like the barrel and gas block. The expert assessment highlights the rifle's resilience, lasting 895 rounds before failure, and compares its performance to other platforms.

This guide details a 700-round rapid-fire stress test on a Yugo M92 PAP AK-47 variant, demonstrating the platform's legendary durability under extreme heat. Performed by Eric from Iraqveteran8888, the test highlights safe handling of overheated firearms and concludes with a tribute to Mikhail Kalashnikov's engineering legacy. The firearm successfully completed the test despite significant heat buildup.
