Gil, Adam. According to Google Maps you two live 3 hours away........Keep it that way!
But on the subject, M98 actions are very hard to come by here in Sooner Land, and way too expensive. The last place I found near Oklahoma City that had anything M98 looked like it was ran over by Pattons tank's. The bolt it's self was quite a fright. The guy still wanted a fortune.
As far as Gil's advice to be patient, I have to be. I got no other choice.
BUT on a lighter note, the local yokel, freebie classified paper, listed:
Mouswer action, good condition, no firing pin $275.00
If that's not a sign of the times, I don't know what is.
