Re: Small Ring Conversion questions_1
|
To show how nice a standard length M98 works with the 9.3x62, I took a couple of photos.
Top photo shows the cartridge in the well of a 1909 Argentine action.
Bottom photo shows the cartridge in the well of a Small Ring 1936 Mexican action.
Regretefully I do not have a small ring KAR action for comparison!
Note that the magazine box projects into the well and shortens the available COL by about 1/8”.
My choice? The full size 98 style action, not only for the magazine length available but also for the increased strength.
