Larry Potterfield, Founder and President of MidwayUSA, demonstrates a straightforward method for polishing the bolt lug raceways on a Mauser 98 bolt-action rifle. This process, utilizing a specialized tool and progressively finer grits of abrasive paper (320, 400, and 600), aims to significantly smooth the rifle's action for improved performance. The guide emphasizes securing the receiver, proper tool assembly, and consistent back-and-forth motion for optimal results.
This video showcases the completion of a Spanish Mauser restoration project, featuring a Duracoat 'Gun Blue' finish and extensive stock work. Key highlights include a meticulously repaired stock using a splice from a CZ Mauser, a matte finish for historical accuracy, and polished bolt components. The rifle is prepared for range testing with reduced .308 cast ammunition, following positive initial accuracy results with factory loads.
