Paging all Mauser experts:
I had a fling with 8mm Mausers for a long time. I bought a Czech M98 trigger guard with the wider winter trigger loop to swap with my K98s when I would take them as my back up hunting rifle. I just found it.
As a happy coincidence, I'm considering purchasing a 7mm mauser. Generally, I buy guns that I'm going to use. If I buy a 7mm, I'm going to take it into the woods/field, etc. I'm wondering if the M98 winter trigger guard will fit to a 7mm mag well? Anyone tried this?
Bonus Question: do the later (like 1930's era) South American contract 7mms have the 3rd safety lug that was absent on turn-of-the century spanish 7mm Mausers?
