Many years ago, I bought an Argentine 1909 Calvary Carbine. Made by DWM, all matching numbers, and one of the smoothest actions I've ever seen. I fully intended on building me a "special" rifle with it, but every time I'd pick it up and handle it, I'd think about how I hated to tear it apart just for the action. After keeping it for about 25 years, I sold it to a collector, and bought a factory rifle.....something I'm still kicking myself over. I also remember all those 1960ish advertisements in the American Rifleman with all those Mausers for sale for $19.95 or so.
