tinkerfive Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 OK so the hand guard lip went 9:00 to 3:00 instead of 10:00 to 2:00, I looked at hundreds of actions that day. I took my caliper this time, the ring measures 1.333" Tinker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailormilan2 Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Well, I can't see the rear of the action(thumb notch and underside "pad" at the rear of the tang), but it appears to be a small ring Mauser 98 style action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
724wd Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 i say steyr solothurn... seems somewhere i saw steyr actions with a handguard retainer like that... could be my imagination, though... heath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobVZ Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Looks like a 98a or a Polish 98. Both are standard length, large ring thread, small ring diameter actions. Both had the integral handguard ring that went half-way 'round. This explains why your bolt won't work because it was made for an intermediate length action. A stnd 98 bolt should work.

A stnd 98 bolt should work. Bob Don't confuse this post with the other. The other is a 1910 Orbendorf intermediate length large ring with small threads (.98) and a full hand guard ring (Turk).

ken98k Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Looks just like my Erfurt made 98a. Standard length, small ring, large ring barrel shank, thin wall. Low pressure cartridges only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
