[QUOTE="specweldtom, post: 507058, member: 2580"] Ted, thanks for the "dirty pictures". One of the many things I like about the Mauser large ring actions is the 3rd "safety" lug. I'm guessing the action survived, but it looks like the bolt set back far enough to engage the safety lug. Also, the case must have ruptured badly enough for all kinds of crap to get in his face. I'm a little surprised the gas vents and shroud didn't catch or divert it. Can you share any more details? Did the floorplate blow open (or off)? If he had rounds in the magazine, did any of them go off? I was also wondering if maybe the stock blew apart and caused the injuries. A while back a friend wanted me to barrel up a Mexican small ring Mauser for him in 6.5 x .284. I just couldn't make myself do it. It might have been alright, but I balked. I did it for him on a F N commercial large ring with no hesitation. A 6.5 x 55 or an improved version should be a cake walk for that action. Good thread. Tom [/QUOTE]
