I have never seen or been able to "blow a Mauser apart"...I have blown them, but they do "as designed" and swell up and perhaps crack unless you poke a stick of dynamite in them and touch it off...They have soft metal under the case hardening, thus they do not fragment as far as I know, unless they have been monkied with.

A Win. M-70 on the other hand will come apart and fragment and is very dangerous to the everyone in the vicinity, but its very hard to do this and takes and imbecile to do it...like a full case of bullseye..

I would not hesitate to use either and in fact the Mauser and the M-70 are the only two big bore bolt guns I use...I like Sakos in the small calibers like the 222...

YES, I NEVER SEE A MAUSER BLOWN AS A GRANADE, AND THIS IS THE TOPIC THAT STARTED A LITTLE DISCUSSION IN THIS FORUM, CAUSE -FOR ME- ONE THIN IS BROKEN A RIFLE, AND ANOTHER IS PART OF YOUR FACE GO AWAY IN THE PROCESS.

IN THIS FORUM, DATED MARCH 30, WE DISCUSS ABOUT BLASER R 93, AND YOU CAN SEE SOME PICTURES OF THOMPSON CONTEDER "IN PIECES".

Mauser 98 & blow up are oxymorons.
