[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 521056, member: 24284"] The M16 style is retained with a 'hinge' pin, Sako style by spring tension. Forget the .22-250 on a small ring Mauser, unless it's a small ring '98, even the I don't care for the 'small ring'/ large (1.100"x12 tpi) thread. Makes for a thin wall section where it may be needed. And if you're thinkin' pre '98 small ring, you're dealing with ancient technology. No "Mauser collar", no guide rib on the bolt, no safety lug, cocks on closing and even earlier methods of case hardening (although I've had to use a carbide drill to get thru the 'case' on several Swedish '96s, probably the best of the pre '98 Mausers but still, cocks on closing).
