Interest INT: Active project: 1:1 accurate MAUSER REPLICA is READY!!!
- Thread starter scottjua
- Start date
We've moved the project to Field Marshall for production. As he has the manufacturing capability to do as well as the experience dealing with replica firearms production. We're still a way out, as the internals need to be sorted, and all sorts of things. So while this isn't moving as fast as I wish... it is moving

I’d be interested in a steel version, depending on price. No front sight, removable mag plate, and swing safety.

I would love to get on the list to,purchase a steel one, no front sight, removable mag plate and swing safety....

In case anyone is still taking interests, I'll be down for a steel kit with no front sight, swing safety and removable magazine plate. Glad to learn that Chris will be taking over the project.
Just as a question; have any of the internal mechanisms of this proposed Mauser alternative been drafted/conceived of yet:? I've seen the renditions of the gun itself, though am curious as to how exactly you are planning on compromising between a Denix and an MGC.
My own two cents would be to take inspiration from Master Replicas Elite Edition DL44; it has a single-piece mechanism in the back of the lower receiver which houses the trigger and hammer assembly mechanism. I can take photos if anyone cares for them; though if a design already has been worked out; ignore this.

Steel or aluminum. The most affordable of the two.

I for one would love to see the photos of the MR Mauser, to see how they tackled the moving parts, etc.Just as a question; have any of the internal mechanisms of this proposed Mauser alternative been drafted/conceived of yet:?

There are some quick pics I've take of my MR EE's internal frame. I can take some better/more detailed/disassembled photos tomorrow. (Note that the LE were literally just Denix; the EE were modled off of a real Mauser's frame.)
The internal frame is held in place with the screws underneath the crossbar's washer.
Pops right out once the screws are removed.
The EE's internal frame compared to an MGC's.
Quick snapshot into the internal frame - its basically just two springs that alternatively hold tension for when its drawn back and then another one to pull it forward when the trigger is pressed (I've personally tightened them to give the hammer a better snap). The safety is non-functional. The "tab" on the front is what the trigger presses on when pulled, and is what controls the hammer mechanism. (Not sure why some of the images are showing up upside down; sorry.)

Like Ron, I am also interested in a steel kit as long as I can also commission a build/electronics install!
thanks.
thanks.
I've stopped adding to the list since we shifted the production. We're working with field marshall now, and I imagine he will make as many as possible to keep the cost down. I think everyone wants it to be steel if possible. The material isn't the problem, its the time to machine the material.

that's the last hurdle. Half the people want it to put electronics in, and half only want a static. Satisfying both needs is the trick. It's perfectly possible to add electronics to an MGC even as I've done it a few times, but I don't think the internals need to be as complicated.
Couple of things to consider,,,, i know everyone wants steel.. Steel is going to require a lot of after casting clean up machining... Steel casting do not come out as smooth a ZAMAK...(zinc, alum,copper ,magnesium ). Scanning and coping the real Mauser is no problem ill have some results to show in the next couple of months. I want to finish the Aluminum E11 project before i start the Mauser casting.... What kinda cost do you think the steel is worth??? It may have a lot of sanding a polishing required to get the finished your used to in the mgc and denix??? Remember the real Mauser is machined and exp.. Just some thoughts
