Nice project! Good luck with the eye Surgury! Tim

Go in the 18th of April to have the first eye worked on, two weeks later for the other.

How did it feed with the fat case ?

Last pic, this one of floor plate, wish it had taken better.

Feeds just fine, even with a large metplate bullet.

I have built many Mauser 93’s over the years.
But never one to this fancy level.
I am glad I helped you with some of the mechanical items like that customized trigger.

My ‘93 crawled over and faced the wall and is sobbing after I showed it the pics of your rifle…

One of my first shade tree smithing project was making a full stock mannlicher-type carbine out of a 7mm ‘93. Went down the road years ago but was fun to build and shoot.

Looks like a great conversion...I would be tickled to find a Good ole Small Ring 45ACP Kit!!!

I believe Rhineland still makes the Small Ring Mauser https://www.troupsystems.com

Just WOW!
Nice work. Looks like an artisan from Louis The 14th's armory made it.
It's nice to know it feeds without rail modifications. Did you use a standard follower?
I've considered barreling a small ring Mauser to .450 Marlin, but just never got past other projects. From my projects 219 DW and other 30-30 Winchester based cases will feed from small rings if you play with swapping around different SM and LR followers. Just have to get the case aligned and the rim to pop up into the bolt face before it catches.
