new barrel on Mauser 38-2

[el indio]

I had a new barrel installed on my Mauser. Needed bolt handle turned down. They also bedded the action and free floated the barrel. I read that Mausers need slight upward pressure on the barrel toward the end of the barrel. Anyone have any knowledge about this? Any help is appreciated.

Like all things concerning Bedding Stocks...Maybe!!!
some it works...some it dont..
I usually Free Float my Mauser Barrels (others too)
...Then, add Tape at the end to check for differences... Easy to Add material if I find Improvement
Or Lazy Way...leave the Tape that Worked!!!! Obviously remove the Tape that didn't benefit accuracy!!
