Side by side comparison, Mauser vs Shansei

I would have to say the Shansei.

The construction has been simplified and the pressure bearing parts, i.e. the bolt and locking lug are larger, which is to stay more robust and thus potentially stronger and wearing longer.

I'm assuming both are .30 Mauser.

If the Shansei is in .45 of course it is larger in size, but still simplified in construction.
