Good luck with your rifle, my buddy found all kinds of stuff wrong with his custom mauser, for one he put a burnt.out barrel on with a fresh blue job, now we are dealing with welded in screw holes that are rough on top not in line and who knows what else. We got the barrel taken care of and now the screw holes should be done soon, but i dont know if he has the pateients to deal with all that since this has been streyched on a couple years already and in the get go the smith said it was his reloading. Crazy.
