I thought M70 or Springfield? It's 3 3/8" long. The Mauser is 4 1/4" | ||

Springfield 03A3; most early 03s have a little gas hole in them. No Mauser is that short. | |||

It's likely from a cut-down mauser 98. I have seen this done more than once. Look closely for evidence of a weld.

No, definitely not that. Look at the nose of it, where the extractor rides in the bolt groove; the 98 Mauser has about 3/8ths inch between the groove and the bolt face. A 93 Mauser, and the Springfield 03 derived from that, has less than 1/4 inch. The picture clearly shows the difference. So, the extractor in the picture is not a 98. It is an 03 Springfield, and further, made after they stopped putting the gas escape hole in them, which was during WW2. Another clue is the way the claw is beveled to snap over a round in the chamber; a design feature of the 03, so as to allow single loading and to make use of the magazine cut off; Mausers are designed for clip loading only. | |||

Not Mauser , it would hit the bolt guide rib on a 98 and 91-95 sr have recessed extractors , ( not the same height on the outside ) | |||

Pretty sure Springfield. I found more parts in a box with a receipt marked New Cumberland Army Depo | |||

It would not fit on a 98 at all due to the groove geometry I mentioned above, and they do work well on earlier Mausers; the recessed height is not important to anything. I have one on a Swede 96 right now. (I notched the guide rib, also not germane to it's fit otherwise. ) Not pretty sure; definitely, 03. | |||
