[QUOTE="ofbandg, post: 2358557, member: 91402"] I have rebuilt a few 96 Mausers and the argument about being soft, in my opinion, has more to do with when they are built than what they are called. Pre - WW1 actions were soft. All you have to do is touch them with a file and you will know that. Later actions were stronger. I don't know how much stronger because I never had one tested. I do know that some later ones were chambered in more high pressure cartridges and were fine. I alway left them in 6.5 x 55 because I believe it to be an excellent caliber. [/QUOTE]
