the barrel is on tight im not sure what the tourqe spec on a mauser is, but the barrel is not moving the rifle is a parts gun i picked up at a gun show everything is properly alinged except for the front sight. do you know of any place i can order a tech manual for a mauser from? and have you ever re attached a solderd on sight ? am i basicly welding the sight on just with solder rather than using a welder and rod? thanks for the reply, i just dont want to take the sight off untill i know how to reattach it. this is supposed to be a restoration not a sporter build.

i also just realized that the stock is cracked under the action does any one know where i can track down a military replacement stock or how to go about repairing this one ive heard that the crack can be glued using wood glue and then clamped until the gule sets, is this a good idea? has any user had good results with this?
