I’m not certain that the materials and heat treatments that were used at Oberndorf were inferior at the ones used in making the modern clones.
The arsenals benefited of much more potent resources and of well trained smiths, and, to have used Prechtl, FZH and pre-war Original Mauser or DWM actions, I must confess that I prefer to work with the old ones…without any nostalgia.
However the modern clones I know, even if they are not machined from forged blanks but CNC made from pre-hardened steel are of superb quality.
Now, to have seen and quickly studied the Chinese made Dumoulin/Sarco A2000, I owe to the true to admit that I will never put my hands and lost my time on such an action.
Sorry for my poor English, hope you have understood my thinking.
