Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats Opinions on a 9.3 x62 in a M-96 Swedish Mauser

Hi,

I agree about the suitability of the M96 Swedish action, either German or Swedish manufacture.
And about the two front lugs, actually the left/upper locking lug is LONGER in any of the 91 to 96 Mauser actions than in the M98. And a 3rd or safety lug can be made when forging or soldering the bolt handle for scope clearing. If does low enough it can be made to enter in a corresponding recess made in the right side and just behind the rear bridge. But I also agree it is of no use anyway.

Regards,

PH
