Better triggers from modern manufacturing techniques are easy to buy for many other actions.Lately there has been more and more scammers on the forum board. fact that there are/were a couple hundred different models of Mauser rifles made for virtually every country in the world and you can see the impossibility of. It's overly complicated and requires some tedious work to make it acceptable to me. K98k, for example.over 14 million K98ks were produced by close to a dozen different factories, each repeating and recycling serial numbers. I am not a fan of the CZ550 trigger at all. For the selection of other, more standard cartridges, I think there are several other actions which allow for higher quality in the builds depending on the need or desire for a particular extractor. It was and is an easy selection for those who chose to hunt big game with big cartridges since it is available for the Rigby class cartridges. The CZ550, as the newer iteration of the Mauser-style, is a very decent action although lacking in the finer points of machining and fitting. The metallurgy was superb, the machining was excellent and the constant refining of the small details for improvement in the overall action was very bright. The Mauser FN commercial actions are simply the pinnacle of Mauser development for the time period. But given the choice between the two, the Belgian wins every time. This is not to say that there is anything wrong with the CZ550 at all, there isn't. Personally, I would use only the Commercial FNs if I could find a decent supply and if I had the clientele to support such an idea.

Then get a good summary of the history of the improvements made to the M98 Mauser while being made in Belgium. For those of us who can speak to using the FN Commercial Mausers from Liege and Herstal from the late 40's up through the 50's, I can suggest that you put both the CZ550 and the FN Mauser side by side and compare with your own eyes.
