[QUOTE="Coyboy, post: 404622, member: 3733"] Alot of good info in this post. I have seen military Mausers that seemed soft and if case hardened, poorly done. HSS drill bits walked thru like butter when drilling scope base holes. I have also seen one front reciever ring crack thru when the original barrel was pulled. As shortgrass stated some are not worth the trouble and have shown severe lug abutment set-back. I no longer do them after a customer sent me one for rebarreling that had a reciever ring crack welded, and very nicly welded I must add. But the potential for failure in my mind is greater with these actions then todays comercial actions. I have no problem with the Mark X and comercial mauser clones. the nice part about these is most of the extra work that needs to be done to a military action is already complete, Bolt handle work. scope base holes, ect. Other than the nostalga of a reworked military mauser, You would be money ahead to buy a rem 798 and rebarrel. [/QUOTE]
