Hello from Idaho - mart - 07-15-2023
Joined way back in 2019 but this is my first post. 2019 was a crazy year with health issues for my wife and life events. My Grendel interest kind of took a back burner. I joined because of my interest in the 6.5 Grendel and the knowledge and information here. Things have settled down with her health and I am rekindling my interest in the 6.5 Grendel again. Now I have a left handed mini Mauser 7.62x39 I am giving serious consideration to turning into a light switch barrel with barrels in 220 Russian, 6.5 Grendel, 7.62x39 (.308 bore), and 358 Gremlin. I'll need to sell a few safe queens to fund the project but I think it would be a fun way to experiment with all four and have a neat little combo rifle.
We moved from Alaska last September to be closer to family and because the Alaska winters were tough on my wife with her health issues. I miss it a lot but Idaho has a lot to offer. I did draw an extra deer tag this year so I'm excited about that.

Welcome back mart! Sounds like an interesting endeavor.

Thank you sir. Its just in the imaging stage right now. I am collecting brass for the various options should it come to pass. Scored some new 6.5 Grendel Starline really reasonable last week and am selling some stuff to fund the project.

Welcome back mart.
A barrel nut like a Savage would be cool on the Mini Mauser to swap barrels like that.

Thats an idea I hadnt considered. I was thinking small set screw or allen head but the barrel nut would work also. Thanks for the idea.
