  It is a Model 98 Mauser action of some sort. It appears to be yugoslavian but I can't see enough to be
  sure. If the springs are still good, the action is PROBABLY alright but there are, of course, no ...

  The method described by Dillinger has long been accepted as a quick and dirty method for ascertaining a

  The conversion, which I did back in the mid-80's, did work out OK but I now believe I should never have
