I own and have owned a number of Mausers and Model 70's. By far the majority of Mausers have been FN manufactured. Some have been original as manufactured, others highly customized. In all cases I have not altered the "swept back" bolt handle. It is obvious that the very high end customs almost universally have the bolt handle modified to a straight bolt. Did FN completely miss the boat and design an ergonomically inefficient bolt handle.?
