RE: Help with an old mauser.
As long as we're kicking around shared info on this military weapon and it's many sub-species...anybody have any input on the Model 38 variant produced by the Oberndorf arsenal. I have 2 of these actions with bolt that I have been saving for projects. I also have 1 Swede barrel, new in the white, and am considering installing this 6.5 x 55 barrel on one of the actions but am curious as to how hot a cartridge I could SAFELY propel from these Oberndorf actions?
Any suggestions?
