How many 93's I have seen rebarreled to 257 Roberts and then loaded to the ragged edge, is beyond my recounting, but let's say it's more than a few. The Mauser 93 and 95 actions possess more than enough strength to handle the 308.7.62 NATO cartridge. I'll give you six months to find one example.report back here and let us know what you found. I would also like for you to show me a reference in print, that details a Mauser rifle bolt being propelled rearward into the shooters head. Yes, it is wrecked beyond further use at this point, but it doesn't come apart. What does happen is the bolt lugs will set back, locking the action up, requiring a hammer to pound it open. How so? First, when an action very rarely becomes a grenade, launching parts into the stratosphere. While Mauser's 98 design incorporated superior gas deflection and venting, with the addition of a third safety lug, it is not inherently stronger than the previous designs. You have written for several gunrags.well bully for you! Then we in the audience are to assume that makes you authority? How many various examples of Paul Mauser's have you rebarreled and spent any time with? What empirical evidence do you have to support your claims.or are you simply repeating what you have read? I do not claim to be an expert.much less a 'gun writer', but I have spent many years with hands on experience dealing with practically any sporting arm made.
