Rifle arrived today. Unfortunately a little damaged in transit. There's a small crack at the stock toe that I can address, but the bigger issue is that the rear claw mount base's grasping lever's cross piece cracked, letting one of the two grasping surfaces fall off the rifle. I have the missing piece. Now I need an internet source showing how these were put together back in the day to see how difficult a repair might be, especially given the fact that would still leave me with a mount and no scope fit to that mount, which is the longer putt.

I'll post pics after I have the stock off and can see any marks below the wood line. That will be in a new thread in this subforum (Mausers).

Regards,
Chris

So while it appears jpeg files will post to that other forum that focuses on double guns, I've not been able to get an image posted here unless it's a jpg (not a jpeg). According to the Google, these are exactly the same format, except for the extension. Older computers can only handle 3 letter extensions. But jpg and jpeg are the same technology format ( Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG))

so new pics of the repro 98 kurz mauser bolt posted for LRF

thats a damned clean work. shows is possible to make and create a part thats more than satisfying.
wonder if you can make also a magnum mauser bolt the same way.

Thanks lancaster

It is probably obvious but the bolt in the white is the one my friend Mark made to replace the missing bolt from the K Mauser he bought earlier this year from auction. The blued on is the original bolt he has from his other K Mauser rifle. I think he did a pretty good job of matching the the unique shape of the handle. I now understand when he returns from his winter vacation in the spring he will decide what to do with the rest of the project.
As to your question, lancaster, concerning magnum bolt I would imagine it depends on where the differences actually are. And are there actually any differences at all in the first place? I don't know the answer to that question maybe you know or someone else may know.

yes, especially the shape of the bolt handle is excellent. try it by yourself, its harder to duplicate than you believe.

Well interesting you mentioned the shape and making one. Mark did reverse engineer the original handle's shape, making a duplicate blueprint by using modern optical and digital measurement instruments. I have sent you another email with the dimensioned print so feel free to use it and post it here for anyone interested in making a copy themselves.

here you are

they probably make a lot of different bolt handles back in the days and see what what was simply looking good. if you look on this shape it looks great. impossible to describe why.
