swamprat Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Found this on another site "Here is a link to a Mauser that blew up because pistol powder was used: http://www.picturetrail.com/sfx/album/view/12400367 The shooter only suffered hearing damage in spite of wearing ear protection. He is an experienced shooter and reloader but made a near fatal error. Swamprat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinkerfive Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 And to think that I've been sticking to large ring Mausers because the gas venting of a small ring has been so 'poo-pooed'. It looks as if that one vented the overpressure real well. Tinker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swamprat Posted April 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 well by the looks of the breaks that reciver was a small ring and or was also investment casted too grainy to be a real forged mauser receiver or made from bar stock Rod Rod, That was my thoughts! It look's to me the metal is crystalized. Looks more like cast-iron than real steel. Also the RING looks shaved. Maybe ground down to look better.

ken98k Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 The small round gas escape hole and the guide rib on the bolt tell me it was a sweede. Also a sweede bolt wont fit into anything but a sweede. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AzRednek Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Yup, WAS a swede. Any chance it is Chinese?? Swampie do you have a link to the thread for details of the mis-hap?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
724wd Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 well gee, just look on top of the front ring for the nam-..... oh. i see the problem! =) looks too nicely finished to be chinese. as to the crystalized metal, if it was improperly heat treated, you'd get some crystals. (be that from the factory or a 3rd party heat treater) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swamprat Posted April 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Any chance it is Chinese?? Swampie do you have a link to the thread for details of the mis-hap?? No I don't this was all that was posted and then the discussion went about the same as here. Swamprat I found this about blown up swedes. http://www.surplusrifleforum.com/viewtopic...d=a&start=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken98k Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Any chance it is Chinese?? Did the Chinese make swedish mausers? I've never heard that before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
