Jeffrey, I am curious about your Mauser 98 in 220 Swift. I have a Mauser in 220 Swift as well and would love to know more about the rifle. I think it is a custom Yeager built rifle with a Robert W. Hart barrel on it that is both sweet looking and shooting. How do I determine exactly what the action is?

I don’t know many details on mine. An old friend of mine did some gun work for his old army buddy. In return the guy gave my friend 4 Mauser barreled actions. I helped my friend with some of that work and he gave me the 220 swift one. I do know that the man was a machinist and did the barrel work, bolt handles, and drilling/tapping for scope mount himself, and the other three rifles all shot very well. If I remember correctly, I believe the barrel is a Douglas. It is all parkerized and has a new magnum sporter contour barrel. I bought a Dayton traister trigger for it and then never did anything with it. Next time I am at my mothers house, I will check it out and see what else I can tell about it, probably just the action make and year of manufacture.Originally Posted by Flyeralan

Under the front scope mount is usually where the information about the country and year of manufacture are.

Do you mean like under the mount itself? Like I have to remove the mount to see it? Or, there is a number on the bolt side of the action below the mount?
