Will any other bolt fit a 1936 Mexican Mauser? Any place I could get an original bolt? Picked up a stripped action, need help. Thanks for all your help, Mike Allred Mike Allred | ||

you can use a yugo48 bolt, but there are some special things that need to be done when screwing on a new barrel. So if you're doing a custom, find a yugo. | |||

Mike, the 1910 or 1936 bolt will work, just get the 36 cocking piece, as that is what make it "cool" ... TMC, i didn't think the m48 and the m1903 were the same bolt length. are you sure? opinions vary band of bubbas and STC hunting Club Information on Ammoguide about the416AR, 458AR, 470AR, 500AR What is an AR round?

I tried both a 03 Turk and a M48 bolt and neither seemed to fit. The action is barreled. Any idea where to find a 36 cocking piece and a 1910 bolt? Thanks, Mike Allred Mike Allred | |||

The M48 and Turk 1903 bolts are indeed the same length. the M48 just doesn't have the cool Oberndorf style knob. Either of these bolts can be MADE to work with the Mexican 1910 or 1936 actions but will not work with a barreled action as-is.  Aut vincere aut mori | |||

the little projection on the front of the bolt opposite of the extractor needs to be trimmed back for a M48 bolt to fit in a barreled Mexican action. The '36 style cocking piece can easily be made and installed on any action-Mauser, M700, M70, whatever you want to stick it on. The M36 cocking piece is a 2-piece afair and making a small knurled knob is a short job on a lathe. They look cool, but will shorten lock time a little. I would not care about that, but some people obsess over it. In Reno I saw a very, very nice rifle built on the M36 and the knurled cocking piece was discarded in favor of a conventional one. | |||

If you've got a knob you have to leave it, that's the rules Hell, I liked the idea so much I had to put one on my 1910 Mex. No it's not original, but not much else on it is either  Marc Stokeld just mentioned something that sounds like a great idea . Get your smith to make you one on a lathe!

Nice action, looks like lots o work. Who's bottom metal? Mike Allred Mike Allred | |||

Bottom metal is Blackburn. The action work was done by Mark Stratton. Terry -------------------------------------------- Well, other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play? | |||

the M48 already lacks the projections that straddle the ejector. What the barrel needs in order to work with the M48 bolt is to have the breech counterbored to accept the head/face of the bolt. The M48 bolt is slightly longer from the rear of the locking lugs forward and thus the face projects through the "C" ring. The Turk 1903 since it has the projections requires that much more work. Again, neither will work unaltered. Aut vincere aut mori | |||

A Mex 54 bolt will work as well (as it's just a later version of the 36 anyway). - dan "Intellectual truth is eternally one: moral or sentimental truth is a geographic and chronological accident that varies with the individual" R.F. Burton | |||

I don't think the 54 bolt will work, those rifles were long action 30-06's. Besides, those bolts are pretty rare anyways. | |||

Yeah, the 36 and 54 bolts are pretty much the same, I have both and they basically interchange (I have no idea about headspace, I haven't fired them that way, just swapped them to see if they fit). - dan "Intellectual truth is eternally one: moral or sentimental truth is a geographic and chronological accident that varies with the individual" R.F.
