swamprat Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 I received the what did I buy mauser today. Its a large ring 98k. in 8mm. I took the bolt out of my turk and inserted it into the new gun. Worked good. Dry fired it and now the saftey won't move. The bolt is locked in the gun and until I can get the safety to move it will stay there. What happened to cause this and how do I fix it?

karlunity Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Try this: Use a locking pliers and to grab the cocking piece and pull it back. The other thing is to take the rifle apart and see if you can engage the cocking piece,, See if the bolt is all the way closed.. I will look around the net.. karl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never thought of trying to pull the cocking piece out. It worked! Now to figure out what caused the problem. Also while cussing the rifle and trying to figure out what to do I found a very faint eagle and 1937 near the butt. All other marks have been ground off including creast.
