I have a Mexican Mauser marked:

Fabrica National De Armus De Mexico 1931. Been dragging it around for 30 years. Now I can't find the bolt.

Anyone know anything about this small ring? Where can I get a bolt and custom bottom metal?

Custom bottom metal is tough. The inexpensive way used to be order one from Gun Parts (Numrich) for a Swede Mauser (same length). With a little modification (in some cases none) these fit just fine. There is also the custom route, Blackburn and Sunny Hill come to mind. These will start around $400. Any intermediate length, small ring 98 bolt "should" fit. There are a great many little differances that can crop up, and head space will have to be adjusted (unless you're very lucky). I would again try Numrich, or perhaps Western Gun Parts here in Edmonton (no, I have no affiliation)length. I'm sure if you do a search on this site (or just Google it) many more Mauser parts sources will turn up. Also check Ebay. - Dan

Wally,
the turk bolt will fit, if properly headspaced.

i just numrich, they don't have any small ring hinged in stock...

i've built 257r, 708, 308, 358, 376 steyr and 458 winnie on 1910 and 1936s

Oh, if you find the little mexican bolt, with a cocking piece like a krag or springfield, just go ahead and buy it. I'll take it off your hands, as it wont work in anything in the world
