Which Spanish Mauser bolts interchange? |
Lead | |
|
Which Spanish bolts are interchangeable? I have a model 93 type bolt out of an Oveido rifle. Will it work in a model 95 Chilean receiver, and vice versa?
And what is a model 94 Spanish rifle? Are those receivers similar? Thanks.

Couldn't answer your questions - I don't have a Chilean or a Model 94 (not even sure what that is), so I couldn't try bolts.

As near as I can tell, most of the model 93 based Spanish receivers are the same. The model 95 Chilean is the oddball in the group as it does not have the
'flat' on the forward bottom of the bolt.
There is a Spanish model 94 receiver listed on Gunbroker, but the research doesn't shed much light. What I did find indicated it was the same rifle asa the Swedish model 94, which is difficult to comprehend, but my knowledge is EXTREMELY limited. I can't get the seller to answer any of my questions about it. If I had the extra bucks I would buy it just to see what it is..................

As near I can tell, the square bolt is on the 93 and 94, and some but not all 95 mausers, but I am not for sure on this, as I dont use that many SR mausers. I
think the 95s depend on who they were made for.

Well, I have a model 93 rifle coming, and a model 95 coming, so I will have both to play with in a week or so. I did have an interesting discovery this
afternoon. I pulled an old rifle out of the back of the safe that I bought a few years ago, buying it as a model 93. It is made by DWM , Berlin, and the crest
is entirely gone so I can't tell for what country. It has a ROUND bolt, and so my model 93 bolt won't work in it. A model 96 bolt goes in about an inch
then hangs up.
The rear of the receiver is different also. The rifle will not drop in any of the model 93 stocks I have lying around, nor will it fit into a model 96 stock. So at this point, I don't know exactly what it it. It is a 7 X 57 chambering, with about a 19 inch barrel.

Sounds like a 95 to me, does it have a semi bolt handle stop to use the handle as a 3rd lug, just a raised up area behind the handle? If so its a 95, probably
a Chilean or similar.

losok, I am not home so I can't look, but I am thinking model 95, but then there is a thumb relief for loading stripper clips that the 95's don't
have. There is no vent hole on the left side of the receiver though. It is too bad the crest is completely gone. It definately is a DWM built receiver though.
HOWEVER, it gets more interesting. It has a 19.5 inch barrel made by FN !!! Has the B BLINDEE stamp and the FN proofs. The bluing is much better on the barrel
than on the receiver, but maybe the receiver was in the white to begin with. The bore is also considerably better than the 93s I am used to looking at.
An arsenal re-barrel maybe ? I understand FN made a boatload of model 93s, but they should all have been actual 93s with the proper receivers, correct?

The short FN barreled DWM rifle is definately a model 95 receiver. It has the round bolt and the raised up area behind the closed bolt handle resting position
exactly the same as my model 95 Chilean. I am told it may be a piece re-arsenaled and used during the Spanish Civil War, which is why most of all the receiver
markings have been removed.
All my model 93 based Oveido's use the bolt with the flat on the forward bottom. I still can't speak to what a model 94 Spanish is. The power under the constitution will always be in the people. It is intrusted for certain defined purposes, and for a certain limited period, to representatives of their own choosing; and, whenever it is executed contrary to their interest, or not agreeable to their wishes, their servants can and undoubtedly will be recalled.
