Most people that choose to use 1909's for custom rifles (true believers) do so with the knowledge that it has better machining, fit and finish than many M98 actions. The same goes for Oberndorfs. It's not just the floorplate. Of course some will never be able to comprehend this.

I've spent far more getting a commercial Mauser action up to snuff than I ever have getting a true M98 like I wanted it.
