your mauser is to me to nice to take to Africa for fear of losing such a fine old rifle they don`t make replacements. that`s why i am taking a new Tikka this rifle means very little to me yes i will take care of the rifle ,but nice older rifles are just hard for me to ruin or lose . so if you hear i died there will be a great auction or garage sell someday probably.
That is a real consideration especially after reading the other guys story about how they jammed him up
