I enjoy reading Roy Dunlap's ancient "Gunsmithing" book...I'm constantly amazed at how little some has changed (like his writings on barrel harmonics and accuracy) and how much, other things have.
Anyway- I'd never heard of Mauser actions (and bolts, natch) being cut/welded to make short actions- but apparently this was common practice with Mauser "sporterizing", "back in the day".
Looks like it would be an interesting project to try "just because", from a suitable (no- I wouldn't hack up a collectible Mauser...) action.
Anyone here done it?
