One thing to note. A Mauser is designed to be loaded from the magazine. Unlike a Lee Enfield, you can't stick a round in the chamber and cloase the bolt. The extractor will not jump over the rim.
So, if you want to fire just one shot, load it into the magazine, then cycle the bolt.

Yes. A fast way I do this is to drop the cartridge in by hand with the bullet nose up in the feed ramp but then just tip the head of the cartridge back down to lock into the magazine lips with the right-hand thumb. It just needs to get the head of the case down underneath the level of the extractor for it to pick up.
What I did to my 9.3x57 Swede bolt:
Good job - I've done the same thing - an easy home remedy when all you need is 1/4" or less of additional clearance AND it can be done with low or at most Medium rise rings.
I hate rifles with ultra high rings (even "see-through") used to clear an unmodified bolt handle or use both scope and iron sights - they either employ a chin weld to shoot or have a large cheekpiece installed..... Abominations.

I've got a factory 46 spud chucker with a milled out handle from the factory ( I think...).
Your job gives up nothing to the factory.
Nice.

I've got a couple of slings that look just like that one in the OP's pic.
A now deceased very good friend of mine, made them up on a regular basis, for his personal use, as well as gifts.
He was very good at sewing everything from canvas to leather and everything in between.
Made some of his own clothes as well.
I believe that sling was built by Rowan Grassi, when he lived on our range as the caretaker for over 20 years.
He described it as an island of sanity.
Most of the later slings he made were made from rolls of material that was very similar to that used for seat belts.
He made them up in rainbow, brown, blue, black and a few in pink for the ladies in his life.
They are actually quite good, don't snag, wear or stretch/shrink.
He loved to shoot firearms and cameras, even made up his own lenses for his century old cameras.
Great conversationalist and friend. I miss him.
