1936 Mexican
Can a 1936 Mexican small ring Mauser bolt work in a model 98 action?

The Mexican bolt is too short to fit a standard length 98, 6.080" vs. 6.370".

Glen- Thanks for the reply. Can the cocking piece from the 1936 Mexican bolt be used in a standard 98 bolt?

Simple answer is No. I cannot think of any parts on a 1936 Mexican that will work satisfactorily on a standard 98

Thank you for the reply. Guess I'll just have to pick up a complete 36 Mexican action.

You can make cp work in a standard 98 with a little fitting.
