mainspring for an MS
      #215841 - 31/08/12 10:11 PM


Righto guys and gals I'm hunting down a striker spring for an MS, I've had a look at the usual suspects but I can't find a listing for the MS. I had a look at the Mauser spring but it's a bit short one end, also had a look at pistol recoil springs but they all seem to be to small a diameter. Any idea's will be welcomed.

cheers
Pete

I would say a spring for the Mannlicher 92/93/95(dutch model) and for the german M 88 military rifle would also work.

here are M 88 springs http://www.historica-shop.eu/tag/gewehr-88/Schlagbolzenfeder-f-G88.html
8 euro with shipping cost inside germany, its a small part that can send in a letter to australia if you have an interest.
I will try to compare the m88 spring with the mannlicher spring.

mate
in the name of science I was disassemble my M 88 bolt

here with another M 92 Mannlicher bolt


it may not look this way on the pic but all parts have the same overall lenght and same dimensions

I have another M 92 firing pin with spring in the house and the spring 's have the same outside diameter - 11,4mm but there is a difference in lenght:

119,5mm for the M 92 spring
114 mm for the M 88 spring

there is not realy a reason for this difference and I can only believe the M 88 spring hade some trouble in life, standing cocked for a long time.



notice that the Mannlicher firing pin was cut on the rear end for a lyman side once

the reason for the longer tip of the mannlicher firing pin is the different bolt head
look here:




I will send them a mail asking how long the M 88 spring in stock realy is.

Numrich Arms (http://www.gunpartscorp.com) has parts for the Greek Mannlicher Schoenauer, including mainsprings, which should fit your rifle.

Barring that, schoenauer@eschoder.com is a source I have used with success for M/S parts.

just got an answer

"the M 88 spring is 120 mm long with 33 turn's, inside 8,9mm. very similar is the M 1904 Vergueiro spring with 27 turn's"

confuse me a little bit because my M 88 and m 92 spring's have 27 turn's! I believe he hade just mixed up the two spring's when looking after this. I have an Vergueiro spring but it's on the bench of my gunmaker now. interesting question worth to be cleared.

five minute's later:
ok, no pic of a Vergueiro spring available, try to count them here at 2:53
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkUDEKmlewg
and end with 27 turn's

dont wonder about this because this rifle is a combination of M 88 and m 98 part's + the new bolt sleeve, bolt head and a little changed firing pin.Portugal would like to have the Mannlicher Schönauer M 1903 than but it was to expensive.
so DWM was made a look alike with the things they allways had.
the M 88 spring with 33 turn's must be a later made replacement part. Turkey for example rework old M 88 rifle's after WW 1 sometime with new barrel's and complete bolt's made by the Czechs.

also available spring for the Mannlicher 92/95

and the Vergueiro

just for being safe measure the outside diameter of your firing pin and the inside diameter of the bolt. I will compare it with the mannlicher and the m 88.
if you have problem's to get it send a pm and I will help.

iirc Numrich had badly overpriced shipping cost 's for anyone outside the united states make's it uneconomicical to buy a small replacemend part.
