Mystery Mexican Mauser Firing Pin Assembly
Переглядів 2524 місяці тому
What is it? You tell me, because I don’t know! The cocking piece and bolt shroud both look to be original purpose made parts. Neither were cut or broached for a standard 98 firing pin. This assembly came out of a Mexican 1910. I’ll definitely be calling some of the older gunmakers I know and hitting the books to see if I can find out what the story is!

An old video I think I originally posted on Instagram. Manufacturing, even today, means trouble shooting and problem solving. What worked the previous 10 times may not work the 11th, or have issues. This was the case with a batch of firing pins that warped in heat treat. We have moved to induction hardening all of our pins.

Hello and thank you I have u A cylinder head without a flag. How to do it? Kind regards

Have you taken any more metal off your design since this video was made ? I'm going to get this style safety somewhere by spring & I like the design your using just wondered if you'd made it more attractive yet
Oh wow, that’s a great. How well does it work compared with the controlled round feed of the Mauser 98?
It doesn't. The 93 is a marked improvement, and the 98 is near perfection. I find early Mauser's fascinating to examine the growing pains and development route. This one is a great idea, just not fully developed. He knew what he wanted to do, just wasn't sure how to get there yet.
Interesting. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you found it interesting. I did!
Offer 3 different ones & allow customers to return the ones that they don't need providing it hasn't been modified, send it with dykem blue on it
You may have a different experience selling products to the general public, but in my experience that type of system doesn't end well. In a perfect world, that is exactly what I would do.
Watched it again, I really like your safety, I think oversize is the way to go, fitting the bottom of the shroud can be done with files, it is getting harder to find safe sided files these days, or any decent files for that matter, thank God I hoarded them in the 80s guess I knew I'd need them when I got older
I am thinking about an austempered firing pin. I first read about this heat treatment two weeks ago. I had three firing pin breakages and I can't stop thinking about it.
Very cool. Glad to see such a niche product being made. I'd get one if it wasn't going to cost a ton to replace the barrel on mine.
What a tool
I am looking to buy an 1871 firing pin. I noticed that the bolt in the 1871 Mauser I am working on has a straight bolt handle like the 1871/84. Comments on that please?
In the early 1900's Mexico and the United States weren't on the best of terms. There had been cross border criminal incursions, raids by Pancho Villa and his rebels, the Zimmerman telegram, etc. In the 1930's the Mexican government had become more stabilized, and wanted to be on better terms with the USA both for better trade agreements, and for mutual military stability. In one of several efforts to better relations between our two countries, when Mexico's arsenal was designing the model 1936 Mauser for their army, they chose a cocking piece that looked similar to the ones used on both the 1903 Springfield and the Krag Jorgensen. They also made the stock configuration and the barrel bands look somewhat like to the 1903 rifle. Their efforts probably paid off because, even though they had very little participation, Mexico was one of the allied countries that fought along with America during world war two, and benefited economically because of this. My theory about your oddball Mauser parts is that they may have come from the Fabrica National de Arms as prototype parts from when they were developing the 1936 Mauser. These look more like rejected ideas than the product of Bubba's rusty hacksaw of doom.. Unlike the earlier models 1902 and 1910 Mexican Mauser's, which were traditional case hardened mild steel, the 1936 was a small ring type 98 model that was made from heat treated 4140 chrome-moly steel, and is fully as strong as modern sporting bolt actions.
Interesting idea, but it sounds like there are others like it. Regarding the composition of the 1936 receivers, have you seen any documented evidence for this? I have seen lots of claims regarding this topic, but not seen any documentation or analysis. The 1936's I've handled and worked on act just like their predecessors when drilling and tapping, welding, and machining. I haven't done an OES test on one yet, might have to do that just to see.
@@myersarmsllc Though I've read on several occasions, both in print and on websites that the 1936 Mexican Mauser receiver were made from heat treated CM steel, your request for source documentation to verify this has lead me on a bit of a search. It turns out that the sources for this information have been someone that heard it from somebody, who heard it from somebody else. It took some digging, but I discovered that after producing 40,000 units of the model 1910 Mauser, production on the 1910 was halted, and production of 50,000 units of the model 1936 began "using receivers made for the model 1910". I stand corrected. It appears that both the model 1910 and the 1936 were made of case hardened steel similar to AISI-1035.
Where can I get a sporter barrel in 8x57 for a 98 mauser ? Nobody seems to have them
are you still selling those? and if can, can you ship it to Austria?
These are an in stock product. At this time we are not shipping to the EU due to their import requirements.

In my country its impossible to find original firing pins or reproduction ones. And there are no ways to order them from US due to strict roles here and there. I have a yugo M48A with a broken firing pin and its useless now. This rifle means a lot to me as it was owned by my father and my grandfather may their souls rest in peace and I don't know what to do. I'm thinking about finding a suitable drill bit or maybe a steel rod to hand it to a lathe machine specialist with the old broken firing pin to copy it. A mechanic not a gunsmith because we don't have gunsmiths here. I'm really confused and don't even know what kind of steel is good for this. Any informations will help PLEASE. God bless you.
That’s so awesome you found an original!!!!
Hahah made me laugh because it’s so much information.
Those are off the Mexican Mauser M1936. They copied the M1903 striker design, and I suspect they did it for ease of manufacture and maintenance by allowing the tip of the striker to be a smaller bit of metal, less expensive to make and easier to harden.
Really? So only the 1903 and 1910 used the standard firing pin arrangement and the 1936 and 1954 used this style? I appreciate you commenting!
Yea my 1954 model is identical
Collar looks model 70
Sorta, but it isn't... I'll have to look I know there were some different variants.
Purchased both and they worked. Did have to grind back of extractor and reduce the curvature to make it fit. Also found that extractor claw was too low in head. So it didn't bite into rim of bullet. Shimmed using piece of folded sand paper (dont judge, first thing i could get a hold off) . Worked like a charm.
Super cool..but how you gonna tease us with stuff like this! I would love to read about the steel composition and manufacturing and machining in particular. Maybe you can make a pdf of your photo copied book available for purchas or something?
The pdf is available online, I don't know that I would feel right selling it. Though if I ever get a translation finished, I might sell that?
@@myersarmsllc Can I just ask where you found the. Pdf? I've searched and haven't found it. I can shoot you an email if you'd rather converse there
Send me an email and I'll try to find it online again. I have a pdf copy but it is too large to email. I might be able to set it up to host on my website.
Is that book available in English?😮
Unfortunately no! I’ve translated some of it, maybe fifty to one hundred pages, typing it in Spanish, then using Google translate. Slow, tedious, but I haven’t found a better way, yet!
@@myersarmsllc if you decide to crowdfund to have this published in English, I would be happy to donate to the project.
@@S.A.U.1489 I hadn't considered that. Do you think there would be enough interest? Technical translations are quite expensive.
@@myersarmsllc I don’t know. There is a company called headstand publishing. They specialize in firearms books. I think it’s owned by Ian or Forgotten weapons. Partnering with them might work to make this project a success.
On the one hand, I am kinda glad you did this for science. On the other hand, Hanyangs are not that common in the US (they're not super rare either, but they're in this weird middle ground) and it sucks that a piece of history like this was destroyed.
This particular example was a bottom of the barrel example. No one will miss it. It was in poor condition before I got ahold of it. I am an adamant student of history and preserving history. I always pick parts/guns that are not desirable collectibles and have issues otherwise.
@@myersarmsllcdidn’t think students of history went around blowing historical items up.
Hi sir, In your experience, which mauser firing pin will fit a yugo M48 as its hard to get a yugo one? If there isn't, then which is the nearest firing pin size to easily convert to a yugo firing pin? Please tell me its really hard to find such informations.
Have you ever fired one of these ? There needs to be a modification to the ejector, maybe a taller ejector and deeper groove with a slight bevel on the edge of the ejector, what happens is the empties typically just fall out into the chamber area, I've had 3 of these all brand new in the 1980s and they all did this
I have to admit, I never noticed an ejection issue on either of the MAS 45's I have. I don't shoot either very often though, I will take one to the range next trip and see if I experience the same.
@@myersarmsllc I've checked the forums and pretty much everybody has the same problem,
@@myersarmsllc let me know what you find I plan on customizing one but only if I can get it to eject properly
@@ericschulze5641 I tend to shoot KKW and DSM more than my MAS 45, but I will definitely look into this. It may be different shooting styles as well, I’ll see if I can dig anything up.
Question is the Spanish m43 extractor the same as the k98. My extractor is bad and have not been able to find an answer. Thanks in advance for your reply. Sincerely, Derek
The Spanish m43 should use a standard 98 extractor.
Thanks for the input.
You make & sell these ? I may want one , what state are you in ,
Yes we do, you can contact us through the website and take a look at the bolt shrouds there www.myersarms.com

The collectivist that made the comment "i hope you get sued" is uneducated.
Could you tell me what thread they use on the back of the M71 firing pin. I checked mine with a thread pitch tool and it looks like 27 TPI but I’m not certain.
I don’t have my notes handy, but that strikes me as correct. I seem to remember some discrepancies between parts. Some were essentially 6.35x1 if I am remembering correctly
I use a Spandau gew 1888, with the Turkish modifications for coyote hunting and havent had any problems, all i use is war surplus fmj
Thank you for this video! I've read the naysayers comments already, and they're best to be ignored. 44 grains of Bullseye is one heck of a hot load considering the .38 Special is loaded at 4 grains or less. I bought a GEW 88 yesterday and it is missing the bolt head, so I have one on order from you. It's an original unmodified Amberg produced rigle with an 1891 mfg. date, so I'll be slugging the bore and working up some lighter loads for it. Removal of the barrel jacket last night revealed an original in the white barrel, with a pleasant scent of very original protective grease. Thank you for keeping these old war boomstcks very much alive!!!!!
Thank you!
I just went through and watched all your videos. I really like the quality of your products. A year or so ago I picked up a reproduction firing pin and an extractor for a Model 1936 Mexican Mauser from you. The parts fit and works perfectly. Last week a guy on a forum posted about some Mauser actions that he'd bought. It was a pair of 98's and three small ring receivers. He said that he was just going to sell off the small rings. I noticed in the photo that he posted that one of the small ring receivers in his batch was a 1936 Mexican (dated 1941), and I explained to him how it was actually a small ring 98. The model 1936's were made from heat treated 4140 chrome-moly steel, not case hardened mild steel, and they are suitable for use with modern cartridges. He was excited to learn that there was a unicorn mixed it with those Spanish 93's. When he asked me where he could find parts I recommended he check out your webpage. As for mine, it's going to become a sporter in 7x57.
Cool advertisement bro. I hope you get sued.
Very helpful video in fitting the new extractor in my purchased bolt head. High quality products BTW, very happy with my purchase of the bolt head, ejector and extractor.
Thank you for your purchase and comment!
Beatiful 👍🏻
Do you have or know were to get a m71 410 extractor?
Unfortunately I don’t!
Well 100.000 psi is more then double that you would have on new full load from factory lol
Great Video 💯💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
Glad you like it!
Có lâu so ban kong
Hey mate, I am currently trying to get some A2 arrow heads (broadheads) heat treated and I have been told they are too thin (1.75mm) to heat treat because they will deform. What are your thoughts on this? Surely there is a way that it can be done.
Well, who ever told you that they will deform wasn't wrong. There are absolutely ways to get it done, but your probably not going to like the bill for any of them. One way to reduce deformation is to build fixturing to support them during heat treatment. They will still deform, but it may be controllable. This would need a fair amount of experimentation, in other words, scrapped parts and $$$. The second way, which to me would be preferable, would be to make them over size and hard mill them after heat treat to true them up. Then do final grind for the edge/point.
I heat treat a2 parts that are 1.5mm thick, no deformation.
Cool video! I am curious how you heat treat the action? I believe those are case hardend?
Depending on when they were made, Mauser's were either selectively pack hardened, which is a zone specific form of case hardening, or later used a process called Durferrit. Both the metallurgy and heat treatment changed over the years and depending on contract.
Thank you for pointing the weak side.

I wish you would off made this video about 6 months ago lol but thank you for making this, it will help me in the future with my next Mauser build.
As they say, better late than never! Glad the video could be of help!
Nice job, l do it almost exactly the same. I drill the threads out to eliminate any chance of contaminants causing an eruption in that weld. Oh yeah and scrape and clean that hole out.
Not a bad way to do it. I have a little brush I use in the parts washer to clean the threads, then they get an alcohol bath immediately prior to welding.
