Do you consider a Brno a true Mauser?



epstud74, you're still confused. One post it seems you know all there is to know about Mauser and the next post it seems as if you don't know $hit.

You have been helped by six different people that know. Interarms Mk X, Remington 798, Charles Charles Daly Mauser, all bases for these will fit yours... none of these is a military Mauser.

"Do you consider a Brno a true Mauser?" No, a Mauser is a Mauser... a Brno is a ..... BRNO wink

I'm well aware that its not a military Mauser. I think it goes without saying right? The only question I had was which commercial Mauser type bases were the best fit? The issue arose from the fact that optics planet, midway USA, Brownells, etc all had different answers and even one had a disclaimer that the Rem 798 would not fit on the others. Even in this very own thread a couple stated that certain bases did not fit, while others did. I'll chalk it up to slight inconsistencies in manufacture.

Not sure how the conversation turned towards cutouts for stripper clips etc.

As for the Brno, you wouldn't consider a Brno VZ24 a Mauser? Seems to me that people are arguing semantics here. I understand that there are small ring and large ring military rifles. I don't care about those, just was confused as to which bases fit the pre drilled holes on the Zastava type rifles, which apparently are a source of disagreement for some

These will work on a Zastava "commercial" mauser with standard rings:

If they don't I'll buy them from you.

The Brno VZ24 is a Mauser clone, not a Mauser but as you stated, it makes no difference as to your original question which was concerning a Zastava M70 which is neither.

So a DOT code K98 would just be a clone?

My zastsva bolt (headspace not withstanding) cycles in all my large ring rifles

Or is your position of that all non-oberndorf rifles are considered clones?

The name "Mauser" IMO ceased to refer to a brand name long ago and pretty much refers to the family of actions it spawned over the last 115 years

Anyways the Interarms X Weaver Scope bases/rings did the trick. He did have to call and order, but after some discussion (like here) a solution was found. Commercial 98 bases and the Leupold bases mentioned above also work

Took it to a legit gunsmith and dealer it works out fine Scope clears the bell too (barely).

Based on what I have seen and read the differences between mauser 98 military and the commercial versions lie in the safety mechanism, floorplate, bolt angle, thumb cut and clip slot. But probably anybody with a little knowledge, a lot of time and the right tools could swap bolts, magazine plates/releases, and safety mechanisms from one to the other......I think.
