I put together a Mauser with some spare parts I had. I had Douglas put a 280 Rem SS barrel on for me as I was too busy to find shop time. It shoots great as most Douglas barrels do. The only problem is the bolt closes hard. I polished receiver. The problem is the cocking piece doesn't seem to fit well. Also it seems I have to push against the firing pin spring more than normal for a M98. It's almost like a P-14 or p-17. Can I remove some metal from cocking piece where it contacts trigger? Can I remove metal from cocking piece that sticks out of under side of bolt? It's a Bold trigger. How much can I adjust it to help? Any info will be appreciated. Thanks. | ||

I have one that has similar problems. bold trigger with safety. It seems like I have to screw the cocking piece (commercial) an extra turn for the firing pin to strike properly. Both opening and closing are harder than they should be. Was wondering if it was the trigger or cocking piece? | |||

Step one; remove the trigger and then tell me if it is still hard to close. Some after market triggers like bold, don't like the stepped sear and need a flat one. Step two: remove the bolt shroud assy and see if the bolt closes hard. Actually, do this first. Step three; polish the cocking cams. Step four; replace all the altered "spare" parts you build it with with known good, unaltered parts. Step next; lost track; check your shroud/bolt detent spring; if they are too stiff, it makes the bolt hard to close. Get back with results and I will think about it more. | |||

I do give medical advice and have not lost a patient yet. Not that I keep track of that sort of thing. Just follow the steps and call me in the morning; that will be $300. Sex books; hmmm; let me think about that too. | |||

I had a the same problem with a Mauser I put a Bold trigger in. I shy away from Bold. | |||

I use Bolds exclusively on Mausers; it isn't the trigger that is the issue. | |||

I've used a good 2 dozen Bolds on mausers over the years. Can't remember an issue. As usual just my $.02 Paul K | |||

this is likely as good a pic as any if you have the one with a notch, and if you drop the trigger and its easy to close, then you may wish to have the other.. opinions vary band of bubbas and STC hunting Club Information on Ammoguide about the416AR, 458AR, 470AR, 500AR What is an AR round?

Thanks for all the info. As soon as I get a few minutes I'll drop the trigger. I have several Bolds and this is the first problem so I'm betting it's the cocking piece. Thanks for the picture jeffeosso. | |||
