I don't know much about the various renditions of the Mauser 98 and I'd like for someone who does to settle a question thats been bugging me lately.
Many years ago I was told that there were some Mausers that had a superior method of seating the barrel in the receiver ring.
Not sure at all abut the details but IIRC some used an internal ring that the breech butted up against while the others did not.
I no the Springfield with it Coned breech is sometimes dissed for not fully supporting the casehead, though the coned breech is said to improve feeding.
As I remember it the fellow who told me this said that the VS24 and the CZ24 differed in the internal structure of the receiver ring, but I can't for the life of me remember exactly what he said and which he believed to have the superior action.
Can anyone shed some light on this?
