I know the Erfurt bolt is the same as any '98 large ring bolt. But, I'm not sure about the bottom metal. If possible, I would like to use a 1909 Argentine Mauser bottom end inclding the integrated magazine. Will this fit with little or no major machine work? The distance between the bolt holes is the same as the LR at 7 7/8". Life is brief. Treat yourself. You earned it.

Creedmoor length seems a little shorter than the 7X57, 7.65X57(typical '09 Argy round) and 8X57 Mauser and very close to a .308 cartridge which is what I compared to. Life is brief. Treat yourself. You earned it.
