[QUOTE="Code4, post: 1621373, member: 26988"] I'll try again. Reliable extraction is another feature of a Mauser 98 action. I think this is what you are alluding to. CRF = Control round FEED. Mauser clearly states this in the patent for the 98 actions and it's also mentioned in pre-WW1 German military documentation as the primary goal for refinement of the '95 Mauser action. There is no supposedly* about it. (note spelling). The issue was that German soldiers (and poorly trained third world customers) would short stroke the action in battle causing a jam. CRF negates this with control of the cartridge as it leaves the magazine and slips under the extractor before advancing towards the chamber. The second design feature of the Mauser 98 was better control of escaping gases. Everything else was a refinement. CRF is seen as an advantage in Dangerous Game rifles but even modern actions like the ZKK often have tolerances too fine to prevent jamming in adverse conditions. If a Mauser 98 fails to crf (or extract) then there is a problem somewhere in the action. Feed rails or extractor lip worn or modified, weak magazine spring etc etc.. If you want accuracy, stay with a modern push feed action. I hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
