The rifle is certainly nice to look at. Perfect classic lines. Well executed. But there is an important inherent weakness in the design.
The W-R .318 rifles made up on the standard length Mauser actions show always a substantial cut away on the front receiver ring to allow the proper feeding of the relatively long cartridge.
So the upper lug area is imho not a really safe proposition.
Would be nice to see a pic from the top of the receiver ring to show what I mean.

Yes, your first post as well !!!

Since we haven't had the pleasure of your knowledge and experience, please provide a list of 318's that have failed.
I don't think you won't have one.

And they are not written up in the numerous books as having been "failures".
