[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1209470, member: 24284"] The bolt on a Mauser should close smoothly and easily on an empty chamber. If it does not, it could be you have other problems, such as the locking abutments setting back in the receiver. I'd suggest getting that rifle to a gunsmith who is familiar with Mausers for close examination before firing it again. If the lug abutments are setting back that will give you an excessive headspace condition no matter what you do. It's also a safety issue. [/QUOTE]
