Are you sure the action is a standard m98 length? Is the distance between receiver screws 7.835" or 7..62"? The intermediate actions were used for 30-06 length cartridges by milling the front of the action and extending the magazines. I am unaware of any regular length actions.
Yes, both actions discussed in this thread are standard length.
I didn't actually measure the distance between the screws.
First I compared it to a stripped commercial Zastava (intermediate length) action I keep next to my desk.
Then compared it a stripped commercial Zastava (standard length) action I keep next to my desk.
Then ran an Argentine 1909 bolt(that I keep next to my desk) into it/them to confirm which bolt actually fits, since there are oddball Mausers with standard length actions and intermediate bolts.
I will not admit exactly how many Mauser rifles, actions and parts reside within 10' of my desk.
