Mauser 98 Bolt Handle - 03/23/17
Gentlemen,
I dug out a M-98 that I have had for while. I looked through my pile and found a scope, mount and rings. I mounted and locked everything down. I even lapped the rings! I thought, "I am good"! Then I put the bolt back in, or at least I tried to bolt back in! I then realize, I not so good! I should have checked long before I lock-tited and torqued everything down. A rookie mistake!
My question? What is entailed in changing the bolt handle? I there anyone out there specializing in details like this! I can get taller rings but, I wanted to use a all the components that I already have! Its a 40mm objective and tall rings would leave me with an undesirable height above the bore line!
