Has anybody seen (or have pictures of) a 1910 Mexican Mauser receiver that has had the left sidewall milled similar to a G33.40? Not talking about the cuts below the stock line, just the one above the wood on the left side. The small ring receiver is kind of "plain" on the left side, and unlike the 1936, the S/N on the 1910 is usually located forward of the area in question. Just wondering. | ||

I think I have seen photos, somewhere on one of these forums. Or it might have been a 1909 Peruvian or an 03 Turk ground to small ring and then had the sidewall cut, not sure. Try searching for 'Small Ring Mauser'. | |||

I do not think that the rifle pictured is a 1910 Mexican, unless of course the thumb cut was also redone as the 1910 Mexican thumb cut only comes to about the center of the bolt release. | |||

disassembly - I agree. That's why I worded the picture's description as I did. It was from this thread: 2012 Thread | |||

Probably easier to extend the thumb cut as shown (similar to 1936 Mexican) when doing the sidewall lightening cut. | |||

michaelj - Did you enlarge the thumbcut? I've never seen that style of recoil lug on a 1910 before, though certainly I have not seen that large of a sample. | |||

The thumb cut on michaelj's '31 looks exactly like the one on my '36. | |||

Yeah, that's what I was thinking, but there's no way a model 1936 could be dated 1931. | |||

The 1910 and the 1936 are both small ring 98s. The main difference, I believe, is the bolt knob cocking piece on the '36. So, I would say the '31 pictured is a 1910, unless it's a large ring, which would make it an FN24 Mexican. | |||

In addition to the pull knob cocking piece, which is often not present, the 1936 has a gas port on the left side and a much larger thumb notch than the 1910. | |||

And a small round vent on the right side as well. | |||

Glen, If you want a similar one done, Karl Feldcamp did one for me on an old Mini Mauser. Hopefully Dean Zollinger will be done with the stock soon. | |||

Did I buy that Mexican from you? If not, the one I am asking about has a 1931 stamp and a knurled cocking piece. Does that mean it is not a '36?? Jim Jim Kobe 10841 Oxborough Ave So Bloomington MN 55437 952.884.6031 Professional member American Custom Gunmakers Guild | |||

Jim, With the 1931 date stamp it sounds like a M 1910 to me, with a substituted M 1936 cocking piece. | |||

Jim K. Yours is definitely a 1936 Mexican Mauser. The picture further up in the thread is a 1910. I can't see any advantage to thinning the left receiver wall. Ron | |||

Another "uniqueness" to the 36 Mex is the bottom metal. It's shallower the other 98s, roughly 9/64 (+/-), but it still holds 5 rounds down. Makes for a nice slim grip/wrist. Not real familiar with the 1910, but it may use the same bottom metal as well. | |||

Hello and sorry for the late reply as I was out of town and away from a computer. The cut doe's nothing but look a little nicer in my opinion and of course lightens it just a tad. The cut on the front of the recoil lug is like that which you would see on small ring Mausers specifically a Swede. I like these little actions for lightweight mountain style rifles and I am completing one in 7x57 with a blind box mag which will come in at 6lbs or a tad less all finished. Michael J | |||

If you thin the receiver wall on a 1936, then you must tig the hole up, and it can be done but to my mind its not the best of practices..Removing that pretty little Springfield cocking piece is akin to sodomy and child molestation, and those that do so should be stringhaultered and gilflurted! ..

considering the cost to pay the custom metal smith to do all of this work to an action, would it not be more prudent to just use a G.33/40 action in the first place. I am aware they are getting scarce, but it seems they pop up here and there on a somewhat regular basis. I mean, if you want a G.33/40 then I guess buy a G.33/40 action and if you want the very fine Mexican Action then buy that. | |||

Unless of course you want a Mexican 98 that looks like a G33/40. Remember, the Mexican is an intermediate length action. Sometimes you don't need a standard length action. Aut vincere aut mori | |||
