[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1067833, member: 24284"] Tens of thousands, if not hundreds or thousands of large ring '98 Mausers have been barreled up/ converted to std. length magnum cartriges, like the .300 Win. Mag, 7mm Rem. Mag, .338 Win. Mag, .264 Win. Mag and 458 Win. Mag. Over the past 20 yrs., or so, I've seen some that have set back at the lug engagements, but most are OK. You have to remember, there were many different makers, not just the Mauser Werks. The steel and heat treatment are not the same as we expect of modern manufacture. WWII production rifles can be pretty rough. I don't even look at a post 1939 war time manufacture rifle except as a collector. Known manufacture is important,,,, Steyr, Mauser Werks (Oberndorf), DWM, CZ, FN. Although, those that I've seen that have set back are in that list. Many variations to be found world wide. Old technology, not to be 'hot rodded'. If it sets back, you'll know it. The bolt lift (if it can be lifted) won't be normal. [/QUOTE]
