http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=89451784 My friend bought these mauser parts in hopes of building a nice sporter out of it . well we got the parts and are having trouble idenifing the action . the bolt stop is different then most and on the side we can make two eagles and (waffen)on the leftside of the reciever . thanks for looking remember the 2% rule you must be 2% smarter then what you are trying to do | ||

Need a close-up of that receiver ring. I might be a Persian or a 1935. (long receiver ring & high charger guide) commercial barrel though.  Doug Humbarger NRA Life member Tonkin Gulf Yacht Club 72'73. Yankee Station Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo. | |||

Hard to tell from the pictures. The bolt stop looks the same as a 1909 Argentine but, the bottom metal certainly is not. Some of the more knowledgeable "Mauser Geeks" out there probably know what it is. I would venture to say that it is a South American contract rifle of some sort. "I ask, sir, what is the Militia?

I've got one of those and if it's like mine, that's a 2 groove 03-A3 Springfield barrel. Mine is an 09 Argentine action complete with hinged bottom metal. I think they built sporters out of whatever surplus military parts they could scrounge up. Mine hovers around MOA. Those 2 groove barrels will shoot. Rojelio | |||

I would swear the action is a 1903 Turk - the 1909 Peruvian and 1935 Peruvian are almost the same, but I am calling this a Turk on the appearance of the bottom metal. What the barrel is, I don't know. Also why it has eagles (?Waffenampts) on it, I don't know. How 'bout some pics of action markings when you get them? Todd | |||

No, not a Turk, no semi circular cut on the rear of the receiver ring. Unless on the off chance it was one of the few that escaped conversion to 8x57 in the thirties. I think like Rojelio said, they used whatever they could find. I've seen the santa fe's built on 1909's and 1908's and one that had no visible markings.  Aut vincere aut mori | |||

looking it up in Mr.Ludwig Olsen book we thought that it was a Turk as wellbecause of the bolt stop . it does have a longer reciever ring than than a 1909 & 98 action when put side by side ,the barrel is single grooved and stamped 30-06 remember the 2% rule you must be 2% smarter then what you are trying to do | |||
