Feeding beer cans in an M98 - Posted for Duane Wiebe
Duane asked that I post this for him.

...never saw the trearment before. This is a 98, and I think it would sure be an advantage to make those "beer can" bullets feed...came off an old King Gunsight rifle Bolt is not modified in any way

Thats a Yugo breech. Commonly called " safety breeched"

Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo.

IMO,it's not worth the trouble of getting FN bullets or spitzers to feed.Go with the RN.

Yup it's a Yugo, nothing to do with feeding.
Good luck!

I've never seen a Yugo with a slightly coned breech treatment that that barrel has.

It clear the bolt it almost has to be a Yugo. The Yugo does not have the full projection opposite extractor...Or the bolt really has been modified to remove the projection of the left locking lug.

No..there;s no modification...I never saw this on any Mauser I took apart, including Yugos, but always fun to learn and see something new. BTW this is an old FN with C ring

Takes a pretty damned small beer can if you ask me. You sure it isn't part of a beer can crusher?

Well...Okay...I was refering to the shape of the bullet nose...very blunt, squared off i.e. "beer can"

I must respectfully disagree; it takes full size beer cans it is just in a reeeally big vise. Wink
