Sorting out the remnants of 2 gunsmith estates. I ended up buying all the stuff the family couldn't identify, dumped into mixed boxes, so no clues to what some of the stuff might be. One odd thing is a very small, short Mauser type extractor. Anybody know what it is for? I'd like to get it to the correct user, they probably are looking for it!

Try here in the reference spot should answer your question

Not Mauser; 03A3. No gas hole of most 03s. 3.36 inches long.

Thanks. I've never worked on an 03, hadn't even thought of them. Knew it wasn't a P14 or 1917.

I have some for sale if you want some. I have 30 or so of them of all variations.
