[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2174179, member: 101791"] A lot of Mauser actions have been cut and bent over the years. That shouldn't be a problem. The only thing is you will probable need to work over the stock where the bolt handle goes with a rattail file, and reseal the stock in that area. Use a little artist oil paint and some light oil to mix it. Use a brush and paint the inside of the bolt handle. Have the action in place in the stock. Close the bolt, and see where the handle is hitting. Remove the action from the stock and start to remove the wood where the black is left behind. Only remove the wood a very little at a time until it closes completely. If you go to fast you will create something that doesn't look very good. It probable take several times to get enough material removed to close property. So slow and you have a good looking job out of it. The black artist oil paint and oil is what I use to let my action into a stock. [/QUOTE]
