[QUOTE="Bret GRAVELINE Graveline, post: 3057008, member: 108926"] That happened a lot back in the day of surplus mausers, while its presence will be bothersome it will fine, Plenty of enfields Springfields and mauser have that issue I never heard of one having issues with setback or headspace problems, it my part of this world about 1 out of 4 rifles were probably surplus, many mausers were barreled to 375 H&H about half of the bottom lug would be ground or milled out to accept the longer cartridge, this act removed a lot more lug than a 8-40 Guard screw, I restocked a old mauser for a fella that was a retired African PH said he'd been using that rifle for 30 years claimed he took over 70 cape buffalo with it, it was chambered in 460 weatherby [/QUOTE]
