A safety feature offered by the was a low shoulder at the rear of the receiver, just behind the base of the bolt handle, which would contain the bolt in the unlikely event that the front locking lugs sheared off due to excessive pressure. South African Mausers were highly effective against the British during the; these proved deadly at long ranges, prompting the British to design their own Mauser-inspired high-velocity cartridge and rifle. These rare Mauser carbines and rifles—especially the Model 1895—can be easily identified by the letters 'OVS' (Oranje-Vrijstaat Dutch for 'Orange Free State') either marked on the weapons' receiver ring and the stock directly below, or otherwise carved into the right side of the buttstock.

Swedish rifle Model 1896On 3 November 1893, the adopted the cartridge. As a result, the Swedes chambered their new service weapons, the m/94 carbine and m/96 rifle, in this round. The rifle action was manufactured relatively unchanged from 1896 to 1944, and the m/94 Carbine, m/96 Rifle, m/38 Short Rifle, and m/41 Sharpshooter models are known by collectors as 'Swedish Mausers'.
They are still sought after by military service rifle shooters and hunters. Initial production of the weapons was in Germany by Waffenfabrik Mauser, with the remainder being manufactured under license by Sweden's state-operated factory. The m/38 short rifle was produced by; additional m/38s were converted from Model 96 rifles.' Swedish steel' is a term for the steel used by the German Mauser, and later by Swedish manufacturing facilities, to make the m/96 rifles. Swedish iron ore contains the proper percentages of trace elements to make good alloy steel.
Thus, though lacking the industrial base necessary for mass-producing steel and iron, the Swedish steel industry developed a niche market for specialty high-strength steel alloys containing,. Swedish steels were noted for their strength and corrosion resistance and were especially suited for use in toolmaking, cutlery, and firearms. When Mauser was contracted to fabricate the initial production runs of Swedish Mausers in Germany due to production delays, Sweden required the use of Swedish steel in the manufacturing process.
The Swedish Ordnance Office continued to specify the same Swedish steel alloy in Swedish-made Mausers until the last new-production m/38 barrelled actions were completed in 1944.Model 1898. Main article:In 1898 the German Army purchased a Mauser design, the Model 98, which incorporated improvements introduced in earlier models. The weapon was originally chambered for the M/88 iteration of the and officially entered German service as the Gew. 98 on April 5, 1898. This remains by far the most successful of the Mauser designs, helped by the onset of two world wars that demanded vast numbers of rifles.Noticeable changes from previous Mauser rifle models included better ruptured case gas venting, better receiver metallurgy, and a larger 35.8 mm (1.41 in) diameter receiver ring compared to previous Mauser 'small ring' bolt action designs that had 33 mm (1.30 in) diameter receiver rings for additional strength and safety.
Mauser incorporated a third 'safety' lug on the bolt body to protect the shooter in the event that one or more of the forward locking lugs failed. In 1903 the 7.92×57mm Mauser S Patrone 'spitzer' (pointed) round was introduced. This was in response to the French adoption of a pointed and boat-tail bullet, which offered better ballistic performance. The bullet diameter was increased from 8.08 mm (0.318 in) to 8.2 mm (0.323 in).
This improved cartridge copied the pointed tip design instead of the previous rounded nose profile. Pointed rounds give bullets a better ballistic coefficient, improving the effective range of the cartridge by decreasing aerodynamic drag.Most existing Model 98s and many Model 88s were modified to take the new round, designated '7,9mm' or ' S Patrone' by the German military. Modified Model 88s can be identified by an 'S' on the receiver.
Due to the possibility for overpressure from the undersize barrel, the spitzer round cannot safely be used in unmodified guns, particularly with Model 88 rifles.Paul Mauser died on 29 May 1914, before the start of World War I that August. The war caused a spike in demand for the company's rifles. The 98 carbines were sold, as well as an experimental version with a twenty-round, rather than five round, box magazine. The extended magazine was not well received, however.A number of carbine versions known as Karabiner 98s were introduced and used in World War I.
Some of these were even shorter than the later K.98k. These carbines were originally only distributed to cavalry troops, but later in the war to the special storm troop units as well.G98 derivatives Many military rifles derive from the M98 design. Some of these were German-made by various contractors other than Mauser:. M1902, M1912, M1924 & M1936 Mexican in 7×57mm. M1903 Turkish in 7.65x53mm. M1904 & M1912 Chilean in 7×57mm.
M1912 Colombian in 7×57mm. in 6.5×58mm Vergueiro. M1906 Swedish in 6.5×55mm. M1908 Brazilian in 7x57mm.

Will have 'La Coruna' or the Spanish Air Force Eagle stamped on the top of the receiver. Virtually identical to the K98k. Often made from G98 parts, rebuilt in the BRNO factory in Czechoslovakia.The was the world's first —the first rifle designed for the sole purpose of destroying armored targets. The weapon, essentially an enlarged G98, fired 13×92mm (.525-caliber) TuF ( Tank und Flieger, 'tanks and aeroplanes') semi-rimmed cartridges. In May 1918, the Mauser Company began mass-producing the Mauser 13mm Tank Abwehr Gewehr Mod. 18 in Oberndorf am Neckar.Following the collapse of the German Empire after World War I, many countries that were using Mauser models chose to develop, assemble, or modify their own G98-action rifle designs.
The most prolific of them were the Czechoslovak M1922 CZ 98 and M1924 CZ and the Belgian Fabrique Nationale and M1930, all in 8×57mm.The Belgians and Czechs produced and widely exported their 'Mausers' in various calibers throughout the 1920s and 1930s, before their production facilities were absorbed by to make parts or whole rifles for the German Army. Strictly speaking, these were not 'Mauser' rifles, as they were not engineered or produced by the German company.To take advantage of the widespread and popular German single-shot 8.15×46mmR cartridge for use in a military firearm, a modified Gewehr 98 referred to as a ' Wehrmannsgewehr' was designed. These were made primarily as single shots; some only had a wood block in the magazine space. These became the 1936 Olympic team rifles for the Germans.
Main article:The Karabiner 98k 'Mauser' (often abbreviated 'K98k' or 'Kar98k'), adopted in the mid- 1930s, became the most common infantry rifle in service in the German Army during World War II. The design was developed from the Karabiner 98b, one of the carbines developed from the Model 1898. The K98k was first adopted by the in 1935 as their standard issue rifle, with many older versions being converted and shortened.Mauser KKW cadet rifle The Mauser KKW cadet rifle is a single shot,.22 caliber rifle that was introduced in 1938. It is virtually identical to the.
These were used by all German military, paramilitary and police organizations, especially the.Gewehr 41. Main article:The rifles, commonly known as the 'G41(W)' or 'G41(M)', were used by during. By 1940 the Wehrmacht issued a specification to various manufacturers, and Mauser and submitted that were very similar.
Both Gewehr 41 models used a mechanism known as the 'Bang' system (named after the designer of the ). In this system, gases from the bullet were trapped near the muzzle in a ring-shaped cone, which in turn pulled on a long piston rod that opened the breech and re-loaded the gun. Both models also included inbuilt 10-round magazines that were loaded using two of the stripper clips from the, utilizing rounds. This in turn made reloading relatively slow. The Mauser design, the G41(M), failed as it, along with its G41(W) counterpart, suffered from gas system fouling problems. Only 6,673 G41(M) rifles were produced before production was halted, and of these, 1,673 were returned as unusable.Handguns.
Main article:The Mauser HSc was a self-loading handgun introduced in the 1940s. It was a compact blowback design in.32 ACP.
Production ran from 1940 until the end of World War II, and into the 1960s and early 1970s. The post-war models were also available in.After 1940 In 1940 the Mauser Company was invited to take part in a competition to re-equip the with a, the. A number of impractical requirements were specified, including that the design should not use holes drilled into the barrel to take off gas for the operating mechanism, thereby requiring mechanisms that proved unreliable.
Two designs were submitted, and the Mauser version, the G 41(M), failed miserably in testing. It was canceled after a short production run. The resulting design did not see real success before it was switched to a simpler system in the.
During World War II, the Mauser factory in Oberndorf was strategically bombed by the Allies, resulting in the deaths of 26 workers and the destruction of the company's power plant. French forces entered Oberndorf (which they subsequently occupied for some time) on 20 April 1945 when the town's and surrendered without any resistance; no blood was shed there on that day. Mauser K98K with 8×57mm rounds.After the war in Europe, the factory was briefly put back in order to produce weapons for the now under-equipped and exhausted French military. The plant was dismantled by the occupying forces for the purpose of, most factory buildings (approximately 60% in total) were demolished and the records destroyed on orders of the local French Army commander.
For a number of years, Mauser Werke manufactured precision measurement instruments and tools, such as., and, former Mauser engineers, saved what they could and founded, which has since become Germany's main small-arms manufacturer. Mauser continued to make hunting and sporting rifles. In 1994, it became a subsidiary of Rheinmetall, a manufacturer of such as the and other munitions until 2004, when it was merged into Rheinmetall Waffe Munition GmbH. In 1999 the civilian manufacture of hunting, defense, and sporting rifles were split off from Rheinmetall.Mauser firearms after the Second World War Mauser was formally re-established in the 1950s.1960s A rifle design by was purchased, and went into production in 1965 as the model 66. Some self-loading pistols were also offered, such as the. Model 66.

Model 66 S. Model 66 P1970s–1990.
My son-in-law has a Swedish Mauser with the Interarmsco. Marking of G33/50 in 6.5 x 55 swedish. From what I've read it's really a 1894 model that interarms re-marked to comply with some import restrictions back in the day. The bbl is 17', but iit looks like it has a short (1/2' or less) extension on it to get there. I think the extension is part of the importing hoops interarms had to jump through to bring these in.The stock is terrible - it was shortened at one point, then someone glued a block of a badly contrasting wood to it to lengthen it again.I'd like to find a stock for it without spending a fortune - this is never going to be a collector item.

I'd prefer a military style stock similar to what it was issued with, but a sporter would be ok.There are a lot of 'mauser' stocks out there, but I don't know enough about it to figure out what stock inletting will fit. I'm ok with finishing it - though I think checkering is above my pay grade.Any help would be appreciated. This particular one most of the bottom metal, magazine box, and trigger went missing, (I think my son-in-law took it to high school shop class to do something with it and someone helped themselves to the bottom metal) so I ordered replacements from someplace a while back.The stock is an Elm stock - but it was cut off just behind the sling mount on the butt, and then an inch or so of walnut was glued on. The rear sling mount was filled in with walnut, the stock forward of the bbl band was cut off and a walnut tip was glued on, the handguard wood is gone.There is about a 3/8' extension on the bbl to get the 17' or 18' - whatever they were looking for. It's 17' from the front of the receiver to the end of the bbl extension.It hasn't been drilled or tapped for a scope, so there is that.Thought it might make a decent shooter for a couple grandkids.
