I bought this 1926-vintage 7X64 Mauser sporter on Gunbroker. It was mentioned that the gun was rescued from a fire, but when I received the gun, several of the springs were softened. I have placed it back at auction to recover my investment, but I wonder if it is possible to re heat treat the action, barrel and bolt for continued use. It's a shame really, as the gun was quite elegant in its time.
