Any Mauser Guys Have...

Any Mauser guys have a serviceable firing pin for a Peruvian M98? Slightly shorter than a standard 98.
Thanks

I need one too! I believe one can be made bu shortening a standard M98 pin: it is exactly one groove shorter, IIRC....

these will work:

The tail end of the pin is a tad shorter than the original but they will work. It will not come all the way to the end of the cocking piece.

Kendog , did you find one ? I've got dozens of the 1903 Turk intermediate action , I think they are the same . It's NOT the std 1938 Turk .
It uses the long heavy cocking piece and was originally made in 7.65 .
I'll need to dig ( really ) a path to the shop and climb ( up ) over the piles of Mauser stuff .

I once owned a Husqvarna M98 and it had a very long firing pin that almost penetrated the primers. The indentation was so deep that I was not happy developing loads with more powder..

I took the pin out and removed about 1 mm on a Gerber diamond knife sharpener. It took a while but problem solved.

Did not find one, so I re-repaired the existing one. Other(s) before had hard soldered a piece of mystery stock .011" under FP hole size. MAY have led to early failure, very flimsy in .075 hole.
Fit and soldered a .120" piece of oil hardened spring stock, turned/profiled/polished to size (.074 Nom). Set protrusion and sent it out the door.
