ken98k Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 I picked up a small ring "98" receiver today. Looks very similar to a 95 except for the guide rib groove. I tried a Yugo bolt and it seems to fit okay but the rim around the boltface extends beyond the inner c-ring slightly. I was planning on using an intermediate bolt with the standard 98 type boltface but the cartridge support nubs protrude that much more into the area ahead of the c-ring. Neither bolt extends beyond the relieved thread area. What type of boltface did these rifles use? Can I use one of the bolts I described and shorten the barrel shank to allow for clearance, then seat the barrel against the receiver face?

Vladymere Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 The Mexican Mauser bolts have unique dimensions as noted by the protruberance of the standard intermideiate bolt. I have not done it but believe that a barrel could be counter bored for the protruding bolt face, and extracter cut made and then the barrel chamberd. I have three Mexican Mauser receivers and three Yugo bolts just for this. I did pick up and Adams & Bennet 7MM lightweaight barrel also for the first experiment. I don't know when I will get to it though. Vlad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z1r Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 You can use yugo bolts in the mexicans and Vlad is spot on about how. If you shorten the shank you could leave too much of the cartridge head unsupported. That's asking for trouble. Be sure whichever route you take you have enogh case head support. The Turk '1903 bolts that came with the three mexican receivers I bought had the cartridge guide nubs removed. I just got new bolts instead.

ken98k Posted September 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 Thanks for the info guys. Would a 1910 mexican bolt work in this receiver? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z1r Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 Thanks for the info guys. Would a 1910 mexican bolt work in this receiver? Yes, 1910 & 1936 bolts will work. the '36 has an additional vent at the top of the boltface and of course, the springfield type cocking piece. The problem with the mexicans is that the extractor, firing pin, and bolt body are all unique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladymere Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 The problem with the mexicans is that the extractor, firing pin, and bolt body are all unique. And that is why I bought Yugo bolts for my Mexican receivers. Spare parts won't be an issue for Yugo bolts for quite a while I think.

ken98k Posted October 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 I got a 1910 bolt from Numrich so now I just have to decide on a caliber. 7X57 would be the least work but I was thinking of a 308 or mabey a 270. Kenny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z1r Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 .270 is too long for magazine. .308 would be fine but I'd pick the 7x57 or since it is a 98 and considering where you live a 9.3x57. You can load it hotter than the loads for the 96's dictate if need be for bears. Since you're looking at the .270 how about a 6.5x55? Mine are all destined to become 7x57's and if I get an extra it'll be a 9.3x57. I've seen them in .376 Steyr, a real power house for the little action. Congrats on getting the bolt. I just saw a pretty nice 1910 in 6mm Rem with a nice heavy barrel. They used the issue stock but otherwise it seemed pretty nice for the money.

Vladymere Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 You where abel to get a complete 1910 bolt, with extractor and firing pin? The 1910 firing pin and extractor, like the bolt body, have dimsnions unique to the Mexican models 1910 and 1936. Any model 98 bolt shroud and cocking piece will fit though. I think a Yugo intermediate length firning pin could be modified to the 1910 dimensions if you had an original 1910 to work from and copy but the extractor is an altogether different animal.

Vladymere Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Yes, I got the complete bolt. Came with the standard 98 type shroud. You got lucky kenak2. Mexican bolt parts, let alone complete bolts, are scarce as hens teeth. Congratulation on your purchase. Vlad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
