500 S&W on a cut-down Mauser Action
I have been toying with this idea in my head for the past few days.
In my shop I have like 30 something 1922 Mexican Mauser actions.
On one of them where the letters aren't rubbed off, they say that they are made in Germany.
I am hoping there is someone out there who can tell me if these old actions can handle 50,000 psi.

I believe they are marked '1922' and are of a 93 style, cock on closing.
What would be the difference between a 1922 and 1924?

Actually now that I think about it (5 seconds later) I think there is one in there that is marked '1897' but it looks to be of the same type, if that helps.
