Mauser problem???
Let me make sure I'm understanding you. You close your bolt. The sear meets the engagement surface on the cocking piece, but you're 1/8 inch from being able to rotate the bolt so it's in battery. Is that right? I agree with you that removing material from the cocking piece is a bad idea... -

New Montanan in exile
Hello all. I'm Dan. I've been occasionally lurking for a while and thought it was time to contribute. I grew up in the Flathead, went to college at MSU, but unfortunately had to leave the state for med school and army service. I'm stationed at Ft. Wainwright, AK now, which is a lot more like...
