My earlier response about 'bad' projects and gunsmithing involved making a really nice Mauser 98 with all the trimmings in .284.all said and done,I was able to save the stock,found another Mauser,bought another barrel and found another gunsmith that knew how Mauser are supposed to feed and built a really slick 8x64.Lost over $2000.I have staped and glued all my reloading books closed where any 'short mags' appear...I guess my mind is too.I don't understand what they do?? The rifles weight the same,work the same,need the same barrel lenght.Old maybe,stubborn,yes..just have no use for WSM's........
