Re: Heym Mauser 98 receiver identification

Quote:
Heym made rifles based on early Yugoslavian Zastava actions in the early 1960's. I know some were imported to the US and sold by Montgomery Ward. All I've seen were based on an intermediate length action that had been modified for 30-06 length cartridges. The trigger guard and floorplate on yours looks identical to what I've seen. What is the distance between guard screws on your action? Also, I don't think the FN commercial actions were C ring.

in any case Heym was using FN actions in the 1950s
So the books say...however I had forgotten about Zastava...
Distance between guard screws (center to center) is approx. 7 9/16 in.
