What part of the rifle was built from parts or exactly " inherited (literally) a box of 8mm mauser parts which I was able to reassemble about 95 percent of a rifle from." did you not understand? It's more than just headspace I told him it was a safety issue.

Since I do not have the time or the desire to give a lesson in physics and smithing, I'll leave you to your opinions as that is all they are. Besides, anyone who would chamber cartridge of a different caliber in a firearm then what a rifle was made for, "just to prove a point" *might* have logic and judgment skill issues; leaving anything they write or say in question.
