I have a spare spanish mauser action (98 style) - can anyone tell me a wee bit about them and or their history/quality? if you have time of course.

thanks!
 
Does it cock on closing? If so it is the early 1893 style originally in 7x57, but later re barreled by Spain in 308. Not a first choice for a 308 but they did it. I have one in 6.5x55 that I shoot factory-pressure loads through.

If it's a true 1898 then a picture would help. What are you thinking?~Muir
