[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1638839, member: 27307"] Yes it is. The Siamese Mauser action was and is still one of the best of the Mauser designs. While I mean no personal affront to you, in general, the idea of forcing a mediocre cartridge into such an action in a vain attempt to simulate the .458 Win. Mag is essentially a waste of a very good action and money. Those that aren't familiar with that value and have the money to create the project often commit such mistakes. We see this throughout the firearms industry when some actions are plentiful and cheap, the amount of experimentation rises until that excess amount is depleted. The late 40s, 50s and the 60s were known for this. The M98, being probably the most produced action in the world, has been cut up, ground down, welded together and experimented with more than any other action. And now the numbers have been reduced to point where it's getting hard to find decent ones. No, I don't collect at all so that's not the point. I hope you get your project up and running correctly as the alternative would be very disappointing. [/QUOTE]
