257 Rock98 Mauser broken firing pin
Well I looking at fixing this gun up a little bit and noticed that the cocking piece was tipped up and was loose. After looking and wiggling it a little I found out why. Now I need a new or used firing pin could use a extractor also. My question is are the firing pin and extractors on the 98's all the same. This gun has a center to center stock screw measurment of about 7 5/8. I found used long firing pins for sale but nothing else size wise. Wondering if I need to keep looking or if these will work. Thanks

South40You need to first determine which Mauser you have, Take a look at this link, it will help:

LoneEagleNo. I have one for a Yugo that I ordered from Gun Parts and it obviously didn't fit my GEW '98. The YUGO was longer on the rear where the grooves for the cocking piece are. Sean
