I have an older .270 that is built on a Mauser action. I also have a .270 that is built on a model 700 action. These rifles were all individually specced out and built by my grandfather. Here is my question.
Is a mauser action, a mauser action. If I were to have that mauser .270 from a pile of parts, could i build it into anything as long as it were a long action?
I am considering building my own custom rifle and was just curious. I see people using old mauser actions, 700 actions, etc... Can you use an old Mosin action? I am guessing that the bolt would limit you to a rimmed cartridge such as the 7.62x54R. This is what I have talked myself into, someone let me know if I am on the right track. Thanks!
