Just saw your post 500. What do you mean by crappy; stocks etc or actions as in badly made, excessive wobble, bad feeding, what are the buggers to look for?

Actions badly made. Rough, excessive wobble. Made to a price.

If it's going to do what you want, then give it a go
- but don't expect a silk purse out of a sows ear !!!

Some were good, but anybody who seemed to want to use Zatava's was because they were cheap - and they were cheap, or at least the one's over here were because they were known as crap.


What to look for.

A military Mauser 98 made pre WW1 or pre WW11 ie don;t buy things made nearer the end of the wars !!!!


God, there must be millions of Mausers to choose from at gun shows in the US, surely you can find one that hasn;t been totally stuffed ?

After all, what do you want, the action only, the action and stock and then rebarrel it ?


I don't know about Whitworths.
