1909 Argentine Mauser Safety Switch Stuck (fix)

[@lu9csmsebastian935]

The "shacking hands" mark is of the Argentinian Comision of Arms, is the OK of the standards of this comission, that is a mark of an original piece, Excellent rifle, congratulations

[@devildogdad]

Thank you very much!! I was just discussing that handshake mark last night and the one right after the serial number on the receiver that looks like MB and we could not find them documented anywhere. Amazing timing and really appreciated!

The 1909 argentine was a fine rifle, if it doesn't work properly a part has been changed, nothing new people do it all the time. Not that its a good idea now but 40 yrs ago rebarreled alot of argentine mausers it was a good action and very accurate if built correctly. Shoot it and enjoy it.

Mausers look so much better scoped in nice walnut sporter stocks. Also Timney Triggers improve them dramatically and they have some with their own safeties and also you could use a sporter safety made for low clearance scopes.

While I didn't need the plastic shim, this did solve the same issue on my Swedish M96. I was able to pull back on the cocking piece and engage my safety. Thanks for the video man, helped me out a lot!

[@olecanole8596]

I had the same issue with my Zastava M63. I diagnosed it and repaired it the same way you did. I guess great minds do think alike.

[@devildogdad]

Note the shim is only to allow moving safety to proper position so you can disassemble the bolt and service the bevel properly. See bolt teardown vid in series for more info.

Just used this method to fix my Spanish fr8 Mauser thanks man you’re awesome

[@gregeoryl]

That is why matching numbers is so important. Armorors usually check headspace, but these guns are skillfully, hand fitted, at the factory, and parts don't interchange, without fitment,

[@ericschulze5641]

Nonsense, typically parts DO interchange matching numbers again Nonsense, VERY VERY few mausers have matching numbers, those that do probably NEVER saw combat

Good job. May I suggest reading Mauser Bolt Rifles by Ludwig Olsen.

[@burtvhulberthyhbn7583]

Is this the same as my Brazilian 1908 in 7 mm? I bought mine new all matching numbers with matching Solingen bayonet in the early 70's for $139.99 Canadian

You don't have to do any thing with the rifle and the safety lever. This is a war rifle that needs a man to handle it not a gentle person. It is meant to be always on firing position. You want the rifle idle or locked, just use the rimmed cartridge or a flat screwdriver to grab the notch at the end of the firing pin and pull it back while turning the safety lever to middle or lock position. I Hope this is helpful.

see point at 6:20 minute mark

[@davidhomen6204]

Oh my God this is so painful to watch any new safety that's replaced has to being Adjusted to the bolt for proper function. If your safety doesn't work on any mauser type bolt, you have to adjust the bolt. That means filing Stoney and polishing. Same go For if you replace a sheer Or a striker.

[@davidwagner9940]

You have to re clock the bolt

❤❤❤

[@Centerbez]

that happen when not all parts match numbers

[@ericschulze5641]

Nope 90% of mausers don't match
