[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 2696060, member: 24284"] Sending all 4 of those 1909s will get you the 'batch price' from Blanchards. A big savings over sending 1 at a time. I believe Blanchards requires their Mauser re-carburizing business be conducted FFL to FFL, meaning they don't except this work from an unlicensed individual. Call 'um for pricing and other info. I had an even dozen done last spring, that should last me for the rest of my life. My 32+yr experience with Mauser '98s is, 1908s and 1909s are soft. Any I use will get re-carburized. The 'lure' of the 1909 is the hinged floor plate bottom metal, not the action itself. The Brno, Czechs seem to be the toughest followed by the Yugos. While I was a gunsmith school student I did work for the local pawnshop. Over that 2yrs I saw at least 4 military Mauser '98s with set-back lug abutments (the pawnshop did a huge business in firearms). Those were 1908s and 1909s made by DWM, that were used 'as is', with no re-carburizing having been done to them,,,, and barreled up to some belted magnum or hot-rod wildcat. That's what I know , that'll fit in a thimble..... [/QUOTE]
