I have the Swedish Mauser original military M-98, all matching numbers bought from an estate collection. Won't touch it for modification.

Just so that you know I spoke to Mitchell Mauser last week at great length and they said the Swedish Mausers are GONE world wide. Prices have tripled.

I'm sorry to say that I don't understand what your are asking about stock torque when you put it back together??

I always use authentic walnut burl and free float the barrel. Mine shoot 5/8" group at 100 yards. I glass bed the action and recoil lug and leave space between the barrel and foreram that I can slip paper through.
