The appeal and handing are in many hidden and difficult to duplicate features, not the least of which is the fine intermediate length original mauser sporting action, allowing exceptional finish and feed
Are there any other Mauser 98 receivers, military or commercial, that would more closely match the receivers used by John Rigby & Co. on the 275's, such as the Yugo M48's?
1903 Turk and the 1909 Peruvian were both intermediate Oberndorf actions, and can be obtained fairly easily, altho often not in the best shape. Both have a longer than normal receiver ring, a longer cocking piece and a shorter bolt. I understand both are basically the same as the Oberndorf intermediate that Rigby used. Interestingly, the overall length and the length between guard screws is the same as a regular length Mauser. The 1908 Brazilian is not an intermediate action.
