Ran across a sporterized military DWM small ring 98 today. The hand guard was still attached, so I couldn't see much, but the action has all 98 features. Bolt vents are long and narrow. Left side of action marked just like a DWM 95. Dealer knew nothing about it. Anyone have any idea what it is, when it was made, and who it was made for? Is it large or small ring thread? The dealer has it he tar marked 7x57, but he's not sure, and I didn't have time to look it over more thoroughly. My phone is broke, so no pics. Thanks Matt. Matt FISH!!

A DWM 98 small ring would be a new one for me. | |||

It must be a Mexican Model 1902 that has had the front ring scrubbed. For $250, I think I'll buy it. The actions got to be worth something to someone. Thanks Matt Matt FISH!!

I did some research; yes, DWM did make some for Mexico in about 1903; they are quite rare and a complete original rifle will sell for at least a grand. So, yes, buy the action now. | |||

I have one, if it is in good condition I would jump on it for $250.00. The quality of mine is superb, as one would expect of DWM. | |||

Thanks fella's. The condition is no great, but not horrible. I recall seeing a DWM small ring action all detailed on Joel Dorleac' website a couple years ago, it must have been one of these.
