I have had my K98mauser for quite some time now but had some questions. I know from the thin style buttplate, the cutout barrel band and other features that its a prewar mauser. I also know that it was russian captured but still retains a few of its eagles. I refinished the stock but had a question about the action. It seems like the action has a black powdercoating on it. It doesnt feel nice and smooth like it should. It seems rough to cycle. My question is how do I remove that finish? Would I have to sand blast it? Did the Russians do that or what?
