RVH/BPG Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 Morning, First off I want to say Thanks for the add to this forum. I own a small 07 Gunsmithing business in GA. I hope to contribute as well as take some good knowledge from this group... I have an Argentine Mauser in my shop. I am have an issue with the bolt. When you lift the handle and try to pull it to the rear to eject the spent shell, It will lift but it will not pull back. The only way to get it to slide back its to lightly tap it with a nylon mallet. What could be causing this? I dug out my chamber polisher this morning. I will clean the chamber up and let you know what happens. If anyone has encountered this issue in the past. Please drop a line to let me know what you had and how you handled it. Thanks Randy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racepres Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 How does eject unfired rounds? Don ^^ And, How much effort to close the bolt??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVH/BPG Posted December 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 It ejects the rounds fine. Since I polished the chamber the bolt also closes Ok as well. The only issues is still the little sticking when I lift the bolt handle. I have to tap it slightly to get the bolt to slide back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donmarkey Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 No I meant if you chamber and eject a round without firing. Or is it just with fired rounds? Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racepres Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 No I meant if you chamber and eject a round without firing. Or is it just with fired rounds? Don Oh!! Yes I'm catching up...Does it only do it with a round in the chamber [dry fire it maybe] Are these Surplus, or Domestic loads??? or...reloads?? I have found that headspace is extremely overrated...how about the diameter of the fired round???? I have a 7X57 with an extremely "fat" chamber!!!

ken98k Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 What ammo are you using? Most Argentines I've dealt with were 7.65x53 but I have come across quite a bit of Argentine 7.65x54 ammo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken98k Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 Also, many Argentines were re-chambered to fire 30-06 ammo. I tend to believe that if you fired original ammo in such a rifle you would experience catastrophic case failure. but who knows? I suggest making a chamber cast.

Spiris Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 Curious, are we dealing with a small ring 1891 Argentine or the M98 version? Spiris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
