[QUOTE="Nimrod, post: 604288, member: 6327"] First a bit of a disclaimer, I'm not a Mauser expert but have some experience with them. You can pop over to Mauser Central tech talk forum and get replies from experts if you like. That said... Military Mausers were "pack hardened" a process as I understand it that is similar to case hardening a process that hardens the surface of the steel only, once the lugs were lapped or any other metal removal operation performed, polishing for example, the hardened surfaces were compromised. Your action was made at a time when things were crafted by hand with care and attention to detail but the technology and equipment was simply not available to do what can be done today. Your action, in my opinion, is not suitable for what you are contemplating. Bob [/QUOTE]
