[QUOTE="morcey2, post: 949560, member: 71004"] I will agree that one should be wary of small ring mauser and there is no purpose served in seeking out unmolested military mausers to customize. But, previously-butchered ones can be made useful if done within the known limitations of the action. Stocks are far from hard to find, pre-fit barrels are made by most barrel mfgs, scope bases are readily available. As long as the locking surfaces and threads aren't polished, that doesn't affect the safety of the mauser. Even the large-ring masuers (and small ring 98's like the 1910 and 1936 mexicans) are relatively soft steel that are case hardened. That is part of the design. Swedish mausers are their own animal and were made from the best steel available at the time. Not arguing with that, other than a $50 BOLD trigger with a 3 lb pull is easy to install. I'm still looking for an 1891 to add to my collection. I think the 7.65x53 was a round that was years ahead of its time. PPU makes factory rounds that are supposed to be pretty good. I think they even do a match loading. Matt [/QUOTE]
