Recently, I picked up a sporterized Mauser. I won't say
custom because the quality isn't that great. It was on
an all matching WWI Mauser action with a pre-64 Winchester
Model 70 barrel. But what I did find interesting was the treatment of the bolt, it wasn't jeweled, I don't think this
is scraping. I think I know what was done to it but I'd like
to read the opinions of others. Here are two pictures.
