"Does he have them reheat treated? They have had softness issues in the past not all but lots have...mb"
I'm not sure if that problem occurred with the DWM rifles but I have heard comments that Mauser allowed Argentina to make the rifles and that those did have problems with heat treatment. I do know that my 1909 DWM was thoroughly checked for proper heat treatment has all the little dimples to prove it. Action and barrel done by the Harry lawson company and the stock by Sterling Davenport. Purtiest rifle I own. Chambered to the .280 Re,. 24" barrel. very accurate too.

Our forefathers did not politely protest the British.They did not vote them out of office, nor did they impeach the king,march on the capitol or ask permission for their rights. ----------------They just shot them.
