Some questions on what work to do on the bottom metal for the 09 98 mauser.
How to remove the Serial number on the trigger guard by the front screw, if it's simply filed down it will make a step I don't want. I believe I've seen where you displace the metal from the inside bulging the metal then file it?

What shape do you like making the trigger bow, just make the sides and cut Parallel to around 1/2" wide or leave the bottom fatter and thin as it meats the stock line.

do you like to round the floor plate of nice crisp edges .

the rear screw the metal flares up some do you leave that or flatten it some.

best way to attach the button for the floor plate release, seems soldering it will look cleanest with out much finish work.

any prep for doing aluminum pillars, what diameter is best I'll make them on the lathe.

anything else I am missing.
 
Honestly, the answer is to buy replacement bottom metal, follower, and spring…appropriate to your caliber.

Repurposed military bottom metal always looks like what it is.

The 09 Argentine mauser bottoms are commercial mauser, from what I've read dmw Did not have or was unable at make normal military bottom metal so they used there commercial ones.

Anime Slayer APK is honestly one of the best anime apps I’ve ever used. It’s packed with a massive collection of both popular and underrated titles, and everything streams smoothly without interruptions. I appreciate how well it runs even on mid-range Android devices.

Between Blak Rock and Pocahontas, I did not want to say that on the forum. That's a nice Cat!
