Funkychinaman ( talk) 14:50, 1 September 2013 (EDT) This makes me doubt all the Mauser ID's I've made for the show. The same type of rifle in "The Legend" (S01E20). Do you know any more about this? - Funkychinaman ( talk) 12:43, 28 August 2013 (EDT)
MAUSER K98 BENT BOLT TV
I read online that the Russians often put G98 bolt handles on K98ks when they refurbished captured rifles after the war, but this was an American TV show from the sixties, so these rifles probably didn't come from Russia. I'm assuming they were built as K98ks with bent bolt handles since there's a cutout in the stock to accommodate the bent bolt handle. I ran across what appeared to be K98ks but with straight bolt handles.
Thank you very much! - Funkychinaman ( talk) 15:58, 30 December 2012 (EST) Funkychinaman ( talk) 16:43, 29 December 2012 (EST)Īwesome. I initially thought Brazilian Model 1908, but there are no grooves in the handguard. Can you ID this Mauser? It's got a straight bolt handle, and a flat tangent sight. Hey, I was wondering if you could take a look at something for me. Thank you very much! - Funkychinaman 18:33, 24 August 2012 (CDT) Any ideas? - Funkychinaman 08:30, 24 August 2012 (CDT) (I reiterate, a wild guess.) Those are the best shots I have. I made a wild guess that this was a Gewehr 1871/84. You seem to be "The Mauser guy" now, so I was wondering if you can take a look at something for me. I've been scouring for information on this rifle, and I just can't seem to find anything. 30-06 Springfield, and fielded by the Belgian military for about three years before being replaced by the M1949. I saw your work on the Mauser and Springfield pages, and I was wondering if perhaps you know anything about the FN Herstal Model 1950 rifle, the model chambered in. Got rid of it, but I've always been curious about it. Sometime in the 50's or 60's it was modified with a shorter barrel and chambered for. Model 1912 Steyr Mauser - Chilean Contract How much do you know about this model? I used to own one. Thanks for all the great pictures!- Stomper 22:01, 6 July 2012 (CDT) Are you going to do more on each section of the Mauser page? If so, I am very much looking forward to it MoviePropMaster2008 21:48, 6 July 2012 (CDT) I like the summaries and backstories of the rifles. 7 Can you provide some help with Mauser rifles?.2 Model 1912 Steyr Mauser - Chilean Contract.This will allow the bolt to close properly on the safety breeched barrel. The two projections on the bolt are removed. The action is rebarreled to remove the safety breeching, or:ī. A bolt from a Yugo safety breeched action, will work(allowing for manufacturing tolerences) in any barreled intermediate action.Ī standard style intermediate bolt will not work in a safety breeched Yugo action unless:Ī. Regarding bolts used for safety breeched Mausers. How much the bolt sticks out from the stock depends on how much curve is put on the bolt during forging. Photo showing the same bolt before modification.īolt photos of an inprogress build of a Yugo action being converted to a 308 Win. This bolt is on a heavy barreled 308 built on a Yugo action that was safety breeched. The second shows a bolt handle that I converted to a "tactical" style bolt, giving over an 1" extra length giving more leverage for easier lift. The first one is a Brazilian 1922 that I built as a 22/250 Remington. Both are intermediate actions(not that it makes a difference). Here are a couple of photos showing bent bolts on two of my rifles. I'll see if I have pictures of this later tonight. and an unaltered FN Model 24 bolt is installed in that one. 308 barrel, which has the usual flat breech face (no "safety ring".
I also have a Yugo 24/47 with a Wilson military profile. I did this with one rifle that still has its orignial 7.92x57 barrel. If you grind the projection off, the FN Model 24 bolt (with a bent down handle) will work in the Yugo 24/47. When I was playing with Mausers ~10 years ago, FN Model 24 bolts were available for very reasonable prices on "the 'Bay", and these are the correct length for the Yugo, but they have the projection on the front. The Yugo bolts don't have this feature because of the ring on the breech face of the barrel. most Mauser bolts have a projection on the face of the bolt that supposedly aids feeding and ejection: helps keep the rim of the cartridge case engaged by the extractor. the only other model that has it that I can recall is the M1910 Cost Rica 7mm. Also the 24/47 has the "safety breech", which is a ring of steel that fully encloses the case head (sort of). The K98k is "standard length", the 24/47 is "intermediate length".
