K98k mainspring question.

[Fruler]

I got all the rust out of the bolt body, it took me some time to do but I enjoyed it... Kind of relaxing. I went and shot the rifle last night, I took the Czech surplus and newly made Prvi partizan ball. Prvi fired with no problems of course. Still having problems with the Czech ammo... Still not sure what steps to take, if any... This will be something I'll have to think about. I believe in the first rule, "do no harm." I will probably keep the Czech surplus in the bottom of my ammo can and save it for a rainy day. I will be sticking with the newly made Prvi Partizan and Sellier and Bellot 7.9 ammo for the foreseeable future.

I learned a great deal from this thread and I would like to thank everyone who contributed their time and knowledge. Thank you.

Still having problems with the Czech ammo

One time consuming test for this ammo would be to take 100 rds of boxer brass and prime them up, use the powder and bullets pulled and installed straight across from the 1948 ammo... If all of them light with an immediate earth shattering kaboom then it's the primers and not your rifle.

That's what it usually is anyway.
