[QUOTE="Michael Souther, post: 1639394, member: 106428"] I bought a,Siamese mauser many years ago very rough condition of the stock. the comments about ruining are unfounded, 98 mausers as well as the Siamese Mauser. Different time different conditions. I have several 98 Mausers converted for hunting and have seen many rescued from the junk heap. My 98 converted to 338 win mag is my standard hunting rifle. My Siamese Mauser 45 70 with a Federal barrel is super accurate, Walnut stock and open sights. I have several Turkish Mausers still as is and were not converted. Way back when, a 98 mauser converted for sporting purposes was a great options for a hunting rifle and reasonably priced when most people could not spend thousands on a factory rifle. Now the loading problem. Check the fit of the magazine at the top where it fits up to the receiver. If there is a gap there, could be the problem. when restocking the angled magazine is a bit of a pain to get it fit correctly. I have one more Siamese action to get a barrel and stock on. Enjoy your rifle. [/QUOTE]
