yeah well you dress funny.

Have you used one? I thought not.

New Guy your work looks good however I personally don't like polishing out tool marks inside the rear bridge as there is not a lot of bearing surface there for the bolt. Also if you polish the bolt as well a few thou here and there really adds up.
The most I would do is a light polish with 600 grit. Being case hardened the parts are pretty slippery anyway.
Not putting shit on your post just passing on what I have learnt the hard way. The main thing that puts people off Mausers is sloppy bolts.
Cheers.

I found these folks. You can buy them one at a time, the service is good and the shipping is reasonable.
