Yes, I'm looking for a Mauser barrel. Something like a 9.3X57 that can be opened from .366 to .411. There are plenty of them out there still on rifles, I'm just checking around to try to find a take-off barrel to keep from buying a rifle just to cannabalize the barrel.

I am under no illusion that this is the Col Whelen's receiver. That rifle is well documented. Mark Benenson was the last custodian that I know of. This one is just very similarly engraved. This was given me by a friend who collects military rifles and is not interested in modified recievers. I'd like to do something special with it and I can't think of anything better than making it up like the 400 Col Whelen had.
