As I read this thread.

You cannot import a surplus military 98 action into the states.

You can import a complete Mauser 98 rilfe even if it is a military arm (relic and curio)

You can import a London/Birmingham rifle on a thumb cut 98 action if it bears civilian proof marks (ie all London/Birmingham sporting Mausers)even though that action may have at one time been a military action and/or identical to a military action.

Is this how others read this ??
