Hi: Can you tell me if a Military Mauser can SAFELY be made to handle the 375 H&H, 416 Rem Mag, and 458 LOTT, by cutting the thumb groove? All these cartridges are the same lenght. I hear that it isn't safe, but I still see many rifles chambered out there for the 375 H&H with Military Mauser actions? Whats the scoop on this procedure..?? Regards... Jim P | ||

Most of my personal guns are Mausers 98's...375, 416, 404, 9.3x62... | |||

Seems to me that the thumb cut is a weak spot if the receiver is dropped on a hard surface or if the receiver is twisted. Under these conditions, cracks can occur in this area, so caution must be exercised when working on military Mausers. | ||
