F. Guffey, how many of the shooter rifles were actually numbers matching? German rifles were hand fitted, so bolt face/shoulder distance would be off if not matching.
I don't understand the gage issue as M88, 7.92S and 7.92sS all have the same gage dimensions.

I have 35 03 bolts, I have measured the effect each one has on the length of the chamber. I do not have an 03 bolt that will change the length of the chamber .001". I have as many Mauser bolts, the Internet smiths have a cute saying when purchasing bolts for Mausers, they suggest purchasing bolts by the bucket to increase the chances of finding a bolt that will correct the length of the chamber. Back to the collector and his collection; I sent him gages that were for short chambers, I sent him gages for long chambers, the longest gages was .024" longer than a minimum length/full length sized case meaning had he chambered a full length sized case in the chamber and then pulled the trigger he would have started with .024" clearance and NO! there was no guarantee the case would have suffered case head separation and that brings up the other silly saying. Reloaders claim the firing pin drives the case forward to the shoulder of the chamber and I always ask how can that be? If the shoulder of the case is driven to the shoulder of the chamber etc. etc. and then it gets too complicated to keep up with. F. Guffey |

I think I order a gage and check my 88s, 98s and k98s. Just for kicks and grins.

I gave him a choice, I told him I had 35 8mm57 Mausers that I checked with just one gage. There is Steve's Page 8, SAAMI, Lee's Modern Reloading etc. for resource.
He liked the ideal of having 26 options, if he choose to have me form cases for his long chambers all he had to do was give me the number on the gage. F. Guffey |
