How so? First, when an action very rarely becomes a grenade, launching parts into the stratosphere. While Mauser's 98 design incorporated superior gas deflection and venting, with the addition of a third safety lug, it is not inherently stronger than the previous designs.

You have written for several gunrags.well bully for you! Then we in the audience are to assume that makes you authority? How many various examples of Paul Mauser's have you rebarreled and spent any time with? What empirical evidence do you have to support your claims.or are you simply repeating what you have read? I do not claim to be an expert.much less a 'gun writer', but I have spent many years with hands on experience dealing with practically any sporting arm made.
