Re: Modern Mauser actions. Why we love the old ones.

For many years I have read in print and listened to collectors say that Pre war commercial actions were far superior to military actions. They reasoned that all war time actions were rush jobs and lacked the extra time spent to finishing as their peace time counterparts.This is what I took to be fact for a long time.

Recently however, I listened to a debate between custom gunmaker guild members about this topic. It seems that the majority believe wartime actions were equal to or possibly BETTER than peace time actions. The fact is, Military actions were subject to a variety of inspections and testing. The factory work was also overseen by military officers providing quality control that was absent before the war.

Sure I have seen some rough military actions. However, the best of the military actions surpass the quality of workmanship we see on modern Remingtons, Ruger, and Winchesters.

The debate is still open, please share your thoughts on this...
