Hi, Joe,

The last ones I knew of were being made in Yugoslavia and Spain. I don't know if they are still being made. If you want a good 98 Mauser action, it might be easier and cheaper to pick up one of the VZ-24 rifles still selling cheap and use the action. A couple of makers are turning out copies of the Remington 700 action, but I don't think they sell actions and they sure wouldn't be cheap if they did.

You are right that actually making an action would not be too easy. The intricate machining would be a bit tricky (the 98 action, like many works of genius, just looks simple!). The bolt alone would be a nightmare.

Legally, you would have to do it all yourself or farm out the work to a licensed manufacturer.

Jim
