RE: Field Grade Mausers"?????
1. The (hinged) floorplate will not close.....it must be forced with extensive force to get it to close and then only while holding the latch open with the other hand.
2 the claw extractor does not pick up the cartridge in feeding to the barrel.....or in other words it's a push feed action and it's supposed to be a CRF action.
I have not yet barreled it so there may be other issues not yet seen but these two are certain now.
Remember....this is an action....not a finished gun.
