What a marvellous piece of history - bet you do a cracker jack job on this one DORLEAC!
I've never really taken much notice of the inside of a Mauser action (barrel thread side), makes you appreciate the thought that the Mausers' went thru to get to this point - the milling processes must be quiet complex & obviously done in a very prescribed order.
I never realised that there was a barrel abutment inside the Mauser action, or is this only for the Beverex?
When you look at the photos, there is not a lot of metal holding back the locking lugs of the bolt back inside the action; the calculations required must have been fantastic for engineers to work out how much is good enough with a safety margin of "X"!
And we just pick them up & shoot them without thought about what really goes on, on the inside that is.
I would love to be able to see a whole action being built - would be a fantastic experience to do so!
Will love the pictures as you build it up DORLEAC
Cheers
