Re: The Mauser M03

Quote:
Quite a few of them have been imported into SA. They have almost zero resale value here, especially in the larger calibres.
Here's a hint: take one in .404, load the mag to capacity, and cycle it REALLY fast and vigorous. It won't be long and you will have the bolt in one hand and the rifle in the other. It's easy to fix as well. Just put the bolt back and it works again. I know of two of them who have these symptoms.
Have you seen this in person,. directly yourself? Or merely read in on some internet forum?

The M66 had the same problem, I'm told.

Anything Mauser produced after 1939, well, you are on your own as far as I'm concerned.
Sums up the post.
But I do want to know, have you seen this with your own eyes? Done it with your own hands?
