Making brass for the '84 Mauser
« on: October 12, 2014, 11:31:57 AM »
I did manage to find a 43 Mauser, got a few of the old semi-balloon head cases but wanted more. Here is a photo of two different parent cases I used to make brass for the rifle.

Well, that didn't work. Haven't figured out how to post pictures from the iPad, will go to the desktop later.

OK, here is a photo of two cases I made. The one on the left is made from 45-90 brass and the one on the right is made from 348 Win. brass.

Hi toot,   sadly Mazo has passed away so he won't be able to give us any answers to your questions.

I believe there are tutorials for reloading this caliber
On gunboards, got to search on that site. Mauser forum

 10-15  yrs ago Gibbs Rifle company imported a ton of these from so america

Hope this help for the future

IDK enough about this rifle to answer that, but we used to fire form them for Dad's (now mine, RIP Big Guy) .35 Whelen Ackley Improved Mauser.

OUR application used '06 brass, looks like Mazo was on the path with .45-90.
