That’s so awesome you found an original!!!!

Hahah made me laugh because it’s so much information.

Those are off the Mexican Mauser M1936. They copied the M1903 striker design, and I suspect they did it for ease of manufacture and maintenance by allowing the tip of the striker to be a smaller bit of metal, less expensive to make and easier to harden.

Collar looks model 70

Purchased both and they worked. Did have to grind back of extractor and reduce the curvature to make it fit. Also found that extractor claw was too low in head. So it didn't bite into rim of bullet. Shimmed using piece of folded sand paper (dont judge, first thing i could get a hold off) . Worked like a charm.

Super cool..but how you gonna tease us with stuff like this! I would love to read about the steel composition and manufacturing and machining in particular. Maybe you can make a pdf of your photo copied book available for purchas or something?

Is that book available in English?😮

On the one hand, I am kinda glad you did this for science. On the other hand, Hanyangs are not that common in the US (they're not super rare either, but they're in this weird middle ground) and it sucks that a piece of history like this was destroyed.

Hi sir, In your experience, which mauser firing pin will fit a yugo M48 as its hard to get a yugo one? If there isn't, then which is the nearest firing pin size to easily convert to a yugo firing pin? Please tell me its really hard to find such informations.

Have you ever fired one of these ? There needs to be a modification to the ejector, maybe a taller ejector and deeper groove with a slight bevel on the edge of the ejector, what happens is the empties typically just fall out into the chamber area, I've had 3 of these all brand new in the 1980s and they all did this

Question is the Spanish m43 extractor the same as the k98. My extractor is bad and have not been able to find an answer. Thanks in advance for your reply. Sincerely, Derek

You make & sell these ? I may want one , what state are you in ,

Mostra o ejetor desmontado. Não achei em lugar nenhum

The collectivist that made the comment "i hope you get sued" is uneducated.

Could you tell me what thread they use on the back of the M71 firing pin. I checked mine with a thread pitch tool and it looks like 27 TPI but I’m not certain.

I use a Spandau gew 1888, with the Turkish modifications for coyote hunting and havent had any problems, all i use is war surplus fmj

Thank you for this video! I've read the naysayers comments already, and they're best to be ignored. 44 grains of Bullseye is one heck of a hot load considering the .38 Special is loaded at 4 grains or less. I bought a GEW 88 yesterday and it is missing the bolt head, so I have one on order from you. It's an original unmodified Amberg produced rigle with an 1891 mfg. date, so I'll be slugging the bore and working up some lighter loads for it. Removal of the barrel jacket last night revealed an original in the white barrel, with a pleasant scent of very original protective grease. Thank you for keeping these old war boomstcks very much alive!!!!!

I just went through and watched all your videos. I really like the quality of your products. A year or so ago I picked up a reproduction firing pin and an extractor for a Model 1936 Mexican Mauser from you. The parts fit and works perfectly. Last week a guy on a forum posted about some Mauser actions that he'd bought. It was a pair of 98's and three small ring receivers. He said that he was just going to sell off the small rings. I noticed in the photo that he posted that one of the small ring receivers in his batch was a 1936 Mexican (dated 1941), and I explained to him how it was actually a small ring 98. The model 1936's were made from heat treated 4140 chrome-moly steel, not case hardened mild steel, and they are suitable for use with modern cartridges. He was excited to learn that there was a unicorn mixed it with those Spanish 93's. When he asked me where he could find parts I recommended he check out your webpage. As for mine, it's going to become a sporter in 7x57.

Cool advertisement bro. I hope you get sued.

Very helpful video in fitting the new extractor in my purchased bolt head. High quality products BTW, very happy with my purchase of the bolt head, ejector and extractor.

Beatiful 👍🏻

Do you have or know were to get a m71 410 extractor?

Well 100.000 psi is more then double that you would have on new full load from factory lol

Great Video 💯💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

Có lâu so ban kong

Hey mate, I am currently trying to get some A2 arrow heads (broadheads) heat treated and I have been told they are too thin (1.75mm) to heat treat because they will deform. What are your thoughts on this? Surely there is a way that it can be done.

Cool video! I am curious how you heat treat the action? I believe those are case hardend?

Thank you for pointing the weak side.

MUY BUENO SU VIDEO TENIENDO EN CUENTA LAS DIFERENTES COMPARACIONES DE DE UNOS Y OTROS, SE ME OCURRE PREGUNTARLE DONDE PUEDO CONSEGUIR UN RECEPTOR ( RECEIVE ) PARA UN MAUSER 7.M.M. ARGENTINO SI USTED ME PUEDE AYUDAR EN ESO SE LO VOY A AGRADECER, SALUDOS Y UN FUERTE ABRASO. GRACIAS.

👍👍👍

Quanto custa um desse aí

MUY BUEN VIDEO MUCHAS GRACIAS POR SU INFORMACION, ME GUSTARIA SABER DONDE PUEDO CONSEGUIR EN RECEPTOR PARA UN MAUSER ARGENTINO 1909 SI USTED PUEDE AYUDARME EN ESO SE LO VOY A AGRADECER.,SALUDOS Y UN FUERTE ABRASO.

MAGNIFICO VIDEO AMIGO ERES UN VERDADERO ARTISTA EN SU PROFESION, ME GUSTARIA SABER DONDE PUEDO CONSEGUIR UN RECEPTOR PARA UN MAUSER ARGENTINO 1909 7.65 M.M. SI ME PUEDE AYUDAR EN ESOSE LO AGRADESCO GRACIAS UN FUERTE ABRAZO.

I wish you would off made this video about 6 months ago lol but thank you for making this, it will help me in the future with my next Mauser build.

Nice job, l do it almost exactly the same. I drill the threads out to eliminate any chance of contaminants causing an eruption in that weld. Oh yeah and scrape and clean that hole out.

neat

Fascinating! Please keep sharing this weirdly specific information.

What about retemper

People often act like the commision rifle mannlicher action is weak but often forget the vast number of Steyr sporting rifles (and sporterized military guns) that used this exact same action and have been chambered in everything from 218 Bee to 9mm Mauser and everything in between. You certainly don’t want to go beating the rifle up or abusing it with Uber high pressure loads but ammo in the 40-50k psi range is perfectly acceptable. Follow basic rules of safety for inspection, reloading, and ammunition purchases and you should be fine. And if you’re worried about accidents, don’t buy old guns.

is any part of the bolt salvageable mainly the head/extractor

“What was the purpose of this test” seemingly to destroy a pretty rare Milsup. 😢 Poor rifle didn’t deserve that

No shit, when you put that much pressure through a 100 year old rifle its going to fail like that.

Your probably looking at the action ring metallurgy where its been case hardened from the inside, sometimes just the ring was stuffed with hardening paste before heat treating and the rest left soft.

My GEW 88 had a faulty primer in a hornady factory round. It vented gas and thankfully my gun had the upgraded gas shield from 1905. It deflected the gas away from my face. A chunk of the safety housing was gone. Otherwise the gun was unharmed. I was thankfully able to replace the damaged part.

So then as long as one uses standard ammo, its relatively safe ( theres still a lot of variables, ie: deep pits, rusty bore, worn out completely, etc...) and can take over standard accepted pressures. Cool. I have one from century that was equally as rusty and bad, i couldnt even polish it up for a wall hanger, i saved the bolt. That and the magazine are about all thats useable on them. Nevertheless, the bolt is worth the price of 4 hanyangs alone. You can easily get your money back simply by selling the bolt and magazine, various screws and pins, etc

We had to destroy the rifle before Bubba traded some real tree for it, dressed it in a tapco stock, turned down the bolt handle, and fed it 300wsm

Bubba's least hot hand loads

Why would you subject yourself and this old weapon to catastrophic harm?

These guns are chambered to the old German bullet diameter of .318. After the early 1900s .323 and still is the standard projectile diameter, so if you guys were using modern 8mm projectiles that's one of the reasons why it blew.

Yikes....
