321" The S conversion consisted of reaming the throat, but the original barrels were used. 318 diameter projectile, but groove diameter for the Gewehr 1888 was always. Most of them were pristine.Damn shame that they fell into what became East Germany and they were demilled by drilling a hole in the chamber. expensive but worth it just for all the color photos of the various prototype rifles. The last Mauser book I bought was Storz's volume on the Gew 98 and Kar 98. I still have 3 Gewehr 98s and a Kar 98az.my DWM 1915 is like new. Mausers pretty much dropped off my radar after I decided on narrowing the focus of collecting to M1903 and M1 rifles. Ball's book " Mauser Military Rifles Of The World"īall's book is quite good. It would not hurt to get a copy of Robert W.D. One way to tell if it's a Turk is if you can see what looks like a half moon stamp on the top/bottom of the bolt knob. You can find DWM Argentino 1909's with the same letter blocks as DWM Brazilian 1908's.manufactured in different years. And remember, the letter blocks start new with each customer. Something to remember here is that many Middle-Eastern countries/entities ordered small blocks of Mausers. It was 1938 that they finally standardized to all their rifles to. 318" bores with the small ring, then used the same barrel on a large ring that was bored for a small ring barrel. They didn't truly standardize until 1938. Most likely Turk as they were the hodgepodge of everything Mauser. 98/22's started being manufactured in 1922 and continued until 1929. On your assessment, the "letter blocks" are different for each entity/country (contract) manufactured for. No wonder that crap doesn't shoot worth a damn! I do not have the sling.Īnything you guys can tell me would be great. The rear sling swivel is curious, being an elongated piece that attaches to the stock and acts like a hinge.
The rear barrel band has a sling swivel attached. The stock top piece is also marked 592 to match the bottom stock. In the barrel channel is the number 8, further is 592, further out is the number 20 but not stamped into the wood. Under the receiver, behind the recoil lug is the number 2.
#Mauser serial number guide serial numbers
There are no external cartouches or serial numbers on the stock which makes me wonder if its been sanded, but on the inside are a couple of numbers. Spaced apart but appear to be on the same line.), and something that resembles "&" or a circle with ears. On the bottom of the receiver is a circled Z, the numbers 1 and 9, (but not together as in 19. Near the muzzle is "98/22 8mm CZWCHO" and then below that is "C.A.1 GEORGIA VT". Other than the serial number and the 1, there are no other proof marks on the barrel. On the bottom of the barrel is the number 1 in an opening in the rear sight band. I removed the stock today and the barrel has the same serial number as the receiver so I assume its the original barrel. What other date indicators can I look for? 323 at or around the same time Germany did? The reason I ask is because I'm trying to date this rifle. My question is, did other Mauser manufacturers switch from. 323 diameter, went to a lighter bullet, and increased pressure.
From my research, it seems that in 1905, Germany switched their military rifles from. First, it was exported to either Turkey, Persia or Egypt, and second, it was exported prior to 1928 when the Turks switched to western numbers on the sights.
The rear sight is graduated to 2000 yards with numbers in Arabic which tells me two things. Serial number E445, not numbers matching on the bolt which is numbered 2851. It is a M98/22 so it has the 30 inch barrel. I have a Czech BRNO factory rifle that I'm trying to gather more info on. Allow me to ask some questions of the assembled Mauser experts.
