Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Trying to ID a Mauser Bolt Assembly

I bought out some parts and accessories from an old Gunsmith Shop about 15yrs ago; Among them was the following Mauser bolt assembly. Does anyone know what model and caliber it may be? Or if anyone could offer any insights into how i could narrow down what it is myself i would greatly appreciate it?
(sorry the pictures aren't the best)

Hi,I cant see any of the pics.

Sorry about that should be fixed now...

As near as I can tell, it looks like a standard M-93/95/96 bolt. Because of the shape of the bolt handle, I'm thinking perhaps a commercial version of the M-38 Swede... They were made in commercial sporting rifles in 6.5x55, 9.3x57, 8x57, and likely others... At any rate, it would likely have the standard .473" bolt face. HTH -

Hi,my puter is loading these too slow.
If you cant get help here shortly I suggest you go to Mauser central there are a lot of Mauser pros there.

Grasshopper is right; it is a 93/94/95/96/38 bolt that is missing the extractor and extractor collar. It comes from either a 7x57mm Spanish or a 6.5x55mm Swedish Mauser. If I had to bet money, I'd say it was from a Swedish Model 38 or Model 94 Mauser because they had bent bolt handles.

That's a Swedish bolt body (guide rib present, 3rd lug missing). The safety lever looks Swedish (knurled), but that's not the regular military Swede cocking piece (vertical thumbpiece missing).

Here are some photos of Swedish rifles that allow you to see some detail on the bolts:
