Mystery M98 bolt body ID?
This should be easy for a Mauser person.
I have 98 type bolt body that has the following:
1. Shorter than normal
2. Gas vent slots are obround but more narrow than normal.
3. When the bolt is face is viewed with the lugs horizontal there is a small groove cut in the bolt face rim at 12 oclock.
4. It is not Yugo - (it has the projections on the front end of the split left locking lug)
5. Other than a serial number on the arsenal bent bolt handle it only has one other marking
--a V in a circle on the rear of the bolt hand root.
Paper weight or did I find a good bolt for something?

Don MarkeySecond that, sound like a 36 mex. the original extactor would have a hole to line up with the vent notch in the rim.

Fal GruntIf your bolt is extra to your needs, please let me know. I have a mex mauser project and the bolt is a little more pitted than I prefer.
thanks
