A friend took a mauser into the Kodiak gun smith for a scope installation. Got the call the gun was ready and walked across the street to get it. The bolt had not been bent, nor was it part of the work requested... so the bolt could not be opened.
So Bruce left the rifle there and asked him to bend the bolt. The call comes that the rifle is ready so Bruce walked over to pick it up. Bolt cleared the scope fine, but the safety didn't. So they agreed to order a model 70 style safety.
A few weeks later he walks across the road again to get his rifle. Safety works too well and the pin won't drop regardless of safety position. Bruce agrees to a new trigger group...
A few more weeks go by and he goes across the road to get the "tricked out" rifle. He attempts to dry-fire it to try the trigger and the smith jumps on him saying he should never dry-fire any firearm, yet has no dummies to test the trigger pull???
Off to the range Bruce goes and gets the rifle to actually fire. At that point the firing pin x cocking piece retainer pin shears sending assorted parts all about...
