Ive just heard from the gunsmith about 3 rifles I was having him check.
2x Argentine 1891 Mausers both excessive by about twenty thousandths
Krag 1898 excessive by fifteen thousandths.
The krag is rimmed so I understand headspace isn’t as critical. He checked the argentines using cartridge plus shims since no one seems to make gauges.
Can Krag headspace be solved by new bolt?
I have no idea what to about the argentines.
I don’t reload but looks like I’m going to have to start and fire form cases.
