I'm looking for two extractors that fit the Mexican Mauser. I have been told that they are different than the standard extractor for the '98 Mauser.
Thanks.

I'll assume you mean the Mexican 1910 or 1936, the small ring 98's. Those are the ones everyone wants. The 1924 will use a std extractor.

I'll look in my spares pile.

Yes, it's the small ring Mauser. I think 1910.
Thanks.

Kabluewy,

Call Ed LaPour at 360-479-4996.
He is in Washington state.

Ed bought all the remaining 1910 Mexican Mauser
extractors Jim Wisner made a while back.

He had a some a few months ago when I spoke with him. If I remember correctly they were $50.

I checked and don't have any more, sorry. If Ed has them, then get em now while you can. It took me over two years to piece together the three stripped receivers I bought.

Try an extractor from a standard 98 Mauser.

I just replaced the extractor on the Mexican Mauser I built for my sons birthday this summer.

After I got the barreled action home I cycled some factory ammo through it it check feeding and much to my disappointment the extractor would not grab the case rims.

I pulled the exractor and noticed that the extractor had been filed. Apparently the prior owner of the action had tried to bevel the extractor to slip over the case rim.

I pulled the extractor of a VZ-24 action I had laying around and installed it on the Mexican action. Lo and behold, it worked perfectly.

I again tried to cycle the ammo through the action and now it would extract but it wouldn't eject.

I pulled the ejector of the VZ-24 and installed it on the Mexican and worked perfectly as well.

jnc91,

You don't have a small ring 98 (1910 or 1936) then. Most likely you have a model 1924, an intermediate which will use a standard extractor.

Zr1,
Check with Jack first Inc. we made a batch for him years ago. He may still have some. If he does not, I do. The only reason I recommend Jack is that when we made those he mistakenly had us make Mexicans when he really wnated standard 98s. luckily he bought the mexicans anyway then had us make standard 98s as well. Specify to them it's the Mex. extractor with the short bolt head there's a chance he's got them still. I do have 15 or so of those, but I'm trying to hold them for upcoming jobs.
Stu

Thanks Stuart!

For those that may not know, Stuart's work is top shelf!

Another +1 for Stu, top notch guy to deal with.

I tried the phone number given, and it doesn't work. I googled Ed LaPour Gunsmithing, and got the correct number, then called Ed. He had two which he was willing to sell. This was a search for my gunsmith, who hasn't come into the computer age. He asked me to help him locate the parts, and he bought the extractors from Ed. Thanks, for the help guys.

It's good to keep on the good side of my gunsmith, and help when I can. He's got two of the 1910 rifles, but both were missing the extractor. He tried to sell me one, but I have too many regular '98 projects going and lots of spare parts.

I will admit that I am not an expert in the various Mexican mauser acitons but I am positive that both of the actions which I have have a small front receiver ring. Can you explain the difference to me.

Thanks,

I've had no experience with the Mexican Mauser, so I'm only going by what my gunsmith told me. He asked me to help him look for the specific extractor to fit the 1910 M Mauser, because he knows I use the internet and have some contacts. He told me specifically that he tried regular '98 extractors and they didn't work out, but I didn't ask him specifically why, because it didn't matter. Ed Lapour also confirmed that the ones he had were different than the 98 extractors too. I can see little reason for a custom maker to craft parts specifically for the 1910 Mexican, when the '98 would do just fine. Apparantly such is not the case. Either way, my gunsmith is now satisfied with his quest, and so am I.

Post a pic, that will confirm what it is you have.

If indeed you have a small ring Mexican 98 the only way a standard 98 extractor will work is if someone replaced the bolt with one from an intermediate mauser.

As Stuart Satterlee, Jim Wisner, and Ed Lapour confirmed, the standard 98 will not fit on a Mexican 1910 or 1936. The distance from the extractor groove to the bolt face is not the same, the Mexican is shorter.
