Have you taken any more metal off your design since this video was made ? I'm going to get this style safety somewhere by spring & I like the design your using just wondered if you'd made it more attractive yet

Oh wow, that’s a great. How well does it work compared with the controlled round feed of the Mauser 98?

Interesting. Thank you for sharing.

Offer 3 different ones & allow customers to return the ones that they don't need providing it hasn't been modified, send it with dykem blue on it

I am thinking about an austempered firing pin. I first read about this heat treatment two weeks ago. I had three firing pin breakages and I can't stop thinking about it.

Very cool. Glad to see such a niche product being made. I'd get one if it wasn't going to cost a ton to replace the barrel on mine.

What a tool

I am looking to buy an 1871 firing pin. I noticed that the bolt in the 1871 Mauser I am working on has a straight bolt handle like the 1871/84. Comments on that please?

In the early 1900's Mexico and the United States weren't on the best of terms. There had been cross border criminal incursions, raids by Pancho Villa and his rebels, the Zimmerman telegram, etc. In the 1930's the Mexican government had become more stabilized, and wanted to be on better terms with the USA both for better trade agreements, and for mutual military stability. In one of several efforts to better relations between our two countries, when Mexico's arsenal was designing the model 1936 Mauser for their army, they chose a cocking piece that looked similar to the ones used on both the 1903 Springfield and the Krag Jorgensen. They also made the stock configuration and the barrel bands look somewhat like to the 1903 rifle. Their efforts probably paid off because, even though they had very little participation, Mexico was one of the allied countries that fought along with America during world war two, and benefited economically because of this. My theory about your oddball Mauser parts is that they may have come from the Fabrica National de Arms as prototype parts from when they were developing the 1936 Mauser. These look more like rejected ideas than the product of Bubba's rusty hacksaw of doom.. Unlike the earlier models 1902 and 1910 Mexican Mauser's, which were traditional case hardened mild steel, the 1936 was a small ring type 98 model that was made from heat treated 4140 chrome-moly steel, and is fully as strong as modern sporting bolt actions.

Where can I get a sporter barrel in 8x57 for a 98 mauser ? Nobody seems to have them

are you still selling those? and if can, can you ship it to Austria?

In my country its impossible to find original firing pins or reproduction ones. And there are no ways to order them from US due to strict roles here and there. I have a yugo M48A with a broken firing pin and its useless now. This rifle means a lot to me as it was owned by my father and my grandfather may their souls rest in peace and I don't know what to do. I'm thinking about finding a suitable drill bit or maybe a steel rod to hand it to a lathe machine specialist with the old broken firing pin to copy it. A mechanic not a gunsmith because we don't have gunsmiths here. I'm really confused and don't even know what kind of steel is good for this. Any informations will help PLEASE. God bless you.

That’s so awesome you found an original!!!!

Hahah made me laugh because it’s so much information.

Those are off the Mexican Mauser M1936. They copied the M1903 striker design, and I suspect they did it for ease of manufacture and maintenance by allowing the tip of the striker to be a smaller bit of metal, less expensive to make and easier to harden.

Collar looks model 70

Purchased both and they worked. Did have to grind back of extractor and reduce the curvature to make it fit. Also found that extractor claw was too low in head. So it didn't bite into rim of bullet. Shimmed using piece of folded sand paper (dont judge, first thing i could get a hold off) . Worked like a charm.

Super cool..but how you gonna tease us with stuff like this! I would love to read about the steel composition and manufacturing and machining in particular. Maybe you can make a pdf of your photo copied book available for purchas or something?

Is that book available in English?😮

On the one hand, I am kinda glad you did this for science. On the other hand, Hanyangs are not that common in the US (they're not super rare either, but they're in this weird middle ground) and it sucks that a piece of history like this was destroyed.

Hi sir, In your experience, which mauser firing pin will fit a yugo M48 as its hard to get a yugo one? If there isn't, then which is the nearest firing pin size to easily convert to a yugo firing pin? Please tell me its really hard to find such informations.

Have you ever fired one of these ? There needs to be a modification to the ejector, maybe a taller ejector and deeper groove with a slight bevel on the edge of the ejector, what happens is the empties typically just fall out into the chamber area, I've had 3 of these all brand new in the 1980s and they all did this

Question is the Spanish m43 extractor the same as the k98. My extractor is bad and have not been able to find an answer. Thanks in advance for your reply. Sincerely, Derek

You make & sell these ? I may want one , what state are you in ,

Mostra o ejetor desmontado. Não achei em lugar nenhum

The collectivist that made the comment "i hope you get sued" is uneducated.

Could you tell me what thread they use on the back of the M71 firing pin. I checked mine with a thread pitch tool and it looks like 27 TPI but I’m not certain.

I use a Spandau gew 1888, with the Turkish modifications for coyote hunting and havent had any problems, all i use is war surplus fmj

Thank you for this video! I've read the naysayers comments already, and they're best to be ignored. 44 grains of Bullseye is one heck of a hot load considering the .38 Special is loaded at 4 grains or less. I bought a GEW 88 yesterday and it is missing the bolt head, so I have one on order from you. It's an original unmodified Amberg produced rigle with an 1891 mfg. date, so I'll be slugging the bore and working up some lighter loads for it. Removal of the barrel jacket last night revealed an original in the white barrel, with a pleasant scent of very original protective grease. Thank you for keeping these old war boomstcks very much alive!!!!!

I just went through and watched all your videos. I really like the quality of your products. A year or so ago I picked up a reproduction firing pin and an extractor for a Model 1936 Mexican Mauser from you. The parts fit and works perfectly. Last week a guy on a forum posted about some Mauser actions that he'd bought. It was a pair of 98's and three small ring receivers. He said that he was just going to sell off the small rings. I noticed in the photo that he posted that one of the small ring receivers in his batch was a 1936 Mexican (dated 1941), and I explained to him how it was actually a small ring 98. The model 1936's were made from heat treated 4140 chrome-moly steel, not case hardened mild steel, and they are suitable for use with modern cartridges. He was excited to learn that there was a unicorn mixed it with those Spanish 93's. When he asked me where he could find parts I recommended he check out your webpage. As for mine, it's going to become a sporter in 7x57.

Cool advertisement bro. I hope you get sued.

Very helpful video in fitting the new extractor in my purchased bolt head. High quality products BTW, very happy with my purchase of the bolt head, ejector and extractor.

Beatiful 👍🏻

Do you have or know were to get a m71 410 extractor?

Well 100.000 psi is more then double that you would have on new full load from factory lol

Great Video 💯💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

Có lâu so ban kong

Hey mate, I am currently trying to get some A2 arrow heads (broadheads) heat treated and I have been told they are too thin (1.75mm) to heat treat because they will deform. What are your thoughts on this? Surely there is a way that it can be done.

Cool video! I am curious how you heat treat the action? I believe those are case hardend?

Thank you for pointing the weak side.

MUY BUENO SU VIDEO TENIENDO EN CUENTA LAS DIFERENTES COMPARACIONES DE DE UNOS Y OTROS, SE ME OCURRE PREGUNTARLE DONDE PUEDO CONSEGUIR UN RECEPTOR ( RECEIVE ) PARA UN MAUSER 7.M.M. ARGENTINO SI USTED ME PUEDE AYUDAR EN ESO SE LO VOY A AGRADECER, SALUDOS Y UN FUERTE ABRASO. GRACIAS.

👍👍👍

Quanto custa um desse aí

MUY BUEN VIDEO MUCHAS GRACIAS POR SU INFORMACION, ME GUSTARIA SABER DONDE PUEDO CONSEGUIR EN RECEPTOR PARA UN MAUSER ARGENTINO 1909 SI USTED PUEDE AYUDARME EN ESO SE LO VOY A AGRADECER.,SALUDOS Y UN FUERTE ABRASO.

MAGNIFICO VIDEO AMIGO ERES UN VERDADERO ARTISTA EN SU PROFESION, ME GUSTARIA SABER DONDE PUEDO CONSEGUIR UN RECEPTOR PARA UN MAUSER ARGENTINO 1909 7.65 M.M. SI ME PUEDE AYUDAR EN ESOSE LO AGRADESCO GRACIAS UN FUERTE ABRAZO.

I wish you would off made this video about 6 months ago lol but thank you for making this, it will help me in the future with my next Mauser build.

Nice job, l do it almost exactly the same. I drill the threads out to eliminate any chance of contaminants causing an eruption in that weld. Oh yeah and scrape and clean that hole out.

neat

Fascinating! Please keep sharing this weirdly specific information.
