I've watched soooo many videos like this and you my friend are the first genius to actually re assemble after disassemble and I thank you....now to watch this a few times so I have the same confidence that you possess.....once again thank you for this video

This is the best Mauser bolt disassembly video I've seen on KZfaq.

I've had my sporterized 98 for years, love the rifle. But I've never took the bolt apart, not yet at least. Thank you

I've never studied this rifles bolt action, truly fascinating. I had a feeling it wasn't going to be extremely simple.. the Germans are known to over engineer time to time ;) but I feel this is exactly why they were so proficient at developing new firearm designs. Some of my favorites would be the FG-42 MG-42 & the STG-44

Just took apart and cleaned the bolt from my Argentine 1909 long rifle and all went smoothly, thanks to your clear and comprehensive tutorial. My rifle doesn't have the metal takedown disc so I drilled through a scrap piece of pine 2x4 into the top of my workbench to make a solid support for the pin. Thanks!

Thank you, this was super helpful getting the bolt off. Was having issues with the safety flag stuck upside down.

Lovely piece of engineering

Thank you very much! I got my first milsurp rifle, a 1940 Steyr K98 and I was completely lost on how to clean it. It's such a fun gun to shoot, that 8mm kicks like a mule haha. I was ready to lose it for a while because I de-cocked the bolt by accident and couldn't get the bolt apart. Luckily I figured out what I did and your video got me back to functional!

Great video, I appreciate it. Easy peasy and you were very clear in each step. Saved me a lot of time. Thanks again.

Really nice video, thorough and well described. Appreciate it!

Great tutorial 👏🏻💯 THANK YOU!

Sure wished I'd watched this before I tore mine apart! I collect WW II guns, and this one is the hardest to work on yet! Your tutorial was awesome!!!!! Not just another "joe-blow" amatuer.

Thanks for this video it was a huge help

This is an excellent, well made video.

This info was right on for my FN M30's bolt, saw no differences.

Great video; thank you.

Muy bueno y educativo. Gracias

Your videos are great!

Muy amable buen maestro.

Great video Subscribed

Its great, but complicated mechanism

What a nice sling!

Thanks so much 👍

No when the safety is to the left its fire, when it is straight up it's the safety and when the safety is to the right it's safe and a bolt lock that prevents the bolt from being operated. The safety is straight up and down so it blocks your field of aiming to remind you to take the safety off before firing.

the pin as found at 5:27 realy gave me hell when cleaning my rifle first cleaning since i got it, its from 1949 and has barely been used but the spring was so nasty that i can still feel my finger from pushing so damn hard on that blunt pin that feels sharp when putting a ton of force on it lmfao for some reason it was the dirtiest part of the gun, but other parts were bad too now im suprised it still fired accuratly at 100 meters when i testfired it lol

Great video and I will try to use it to solve my problem! I have 2 Swedish Mausers and the bolts are still in the receiver. I cannot open either of them. The safety flag is full left on both and will not move. Any suggestions?

I have an M38 Turk mauser, reworked off a WW1 G98, and I just cleaned the bolt and re-lubricated it. Is it natural for the bolt to have a little "clunk" to it on cocking the bolt?

Good you joob 👍👍

How do you take the bolt out of battery or fire mode to rotate the safety flange. The bolt was out of the gun and the safety flange was rotated counter clockwise into battery position and now I can’t get it out again. Any help will help.. thanks😉

Great video. I have a issue with my bolt which I can't seem to correct, the bolt has been removed (not by me) but the safety lever is stuck in the firing position preventing it's reassembly back into the gun, when I press in the little spring loaded pin I'm still not able to rotate the safety flag clockwise into the upright position, it won't budge at all. Any advice would be appreciated.

Have a Yugoslav FN 1924. Same bolt assembly but the safety is stuck on fire and I can’t take the bolt apart file it down. Any suggestions?

I effed up by turning my bolt head counterclock wise without putting it in the maintenance position and now i cant get the bolt back in. What should i do?

👍👍

Как всё очень подробно, жаль что не по русски !

So my extractor ring broke, you know the one you said not to ever remove? And I'm not sure what to do, I ordered a replacement ring but I'm not sure if that will ever fit flush enough to work properly. Do I need to get an entirely new bolt? Or do you think I can make it work?

Is that an original WW2 stock? Also what year exactly?

Please help me . I removed the bolt while leaving it in the fire position. Now I can not further take down the bolt the piece will depress but it won't spin freely . I am truly at a loss here . Anyone please help . Any advice at all .

Cómo limpio el cañón? Amigo

My safety does not work correctly, I am going to break it down and clean all parts, I hope this will fix problem.

Tengo 1 de esos mauser me he difícil conseguir las balas 7 mm.ayudeme

Bro i was trying to solve that issue with its bullets but I when pulled the cocking piece it is removed from the bolt and now I can't fix it

👍👍👏👏👏

Pretty sure a real rifle doesn't have this issue... but the black part that you twist to screw in that has the safety, but my replica slips to the left if I pull the bolt back and I cant seem to ever get it to stop. Any input?
