I have heard that on occasion that gunsmiths would take two standard Mauser actions cut each one in two at a difference of 3/16" and re-weld them to create a "magnum" Mauser in light of what you said I don't see how this was possible. Have you heard anything on the surgical production of "magnum" Mauser?
Here in Finland some gunsmiths have done such a job. It succeeds but needs much finishing works and special jig when welding those two halves together. And properly heat treating too. I have also seen pictures of m98 action shortened to m96 lenght.
