Persian Mauser '98/29
Does anyone know if this action holds a 30-06 shell?


I just bought three M-24/47 rifles and they are too short....hold the 'X57 rounds nicely but too short for the 30-06 and I don't want more of them!

Yes they do. They are the standard length M98.

Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo.

Yes they are standard length M98. They are the VZ-24 made for Iran & the nicest finished mauser's I have seen!

I had Hart do a 30-06 on one of these for me, made a really nice rifle and the action is smooth. Have fun

I have one like you have pictured and one unissued barreled action. they will make a great custom. Please don't customize a complete rifle if its in unssued condition I would be interested in buying it.

I hope you don't mind Farsi where it normally says VZ-24.
