Basically I plan on building/making/or assembling a stripper clip fed scout gun and my first thoughts to what I could start with went to the Mauser action. After all look at its influence on the bolt action rifles of today. I know that the Lee Enfield, Mosin Nagant, and the Japanese Arisaka (based on the Mauser) are all also stripper Clip fed but I thought a Mauser would still be a better base to start with. Unless another controlled round feed rifle CZ rifle like the CZ 550 or a Winchester Model 70 could be modified to be stripper clip fed as more modern metallurgy could handle higher pressures than what was produced many years ago. What does everyone think ?
