I question Steve Barnett's description of an "1896 Mauser" action. I don't see it called an 1896 in his add. The 1896 was an action for the Swedish market chambered in 6.5x55. The 1893 & 1895 Mauser actions were used solely for Fraser's 303 Rimless proprietary round. The slant box for 303 British round was introduced on the 1898 action and sold through Rigby. There is a lot of confusion regarding these actions and chamberings.
