[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 377834, member: 2736"] I don't know much about building on an Enfield action but if the calibers are held to something similar and not loaded they should be fine. As to the Mauser action , they make great actions to build a custom rifle and look good if re-blued. I would not recomend building any of the big Magnums on ether action even though they would probably be ok depending on the year they were built (Some actions built during the late war years were not proof tested and could be dangerous). Try to stay with the same case head dia. for bolt lug loading and with 47,000 Psi to 50,000 Psi loads for safety. I know this all sounds conservative but it is better to error on the side of safety.
