The Mauser M91 Through M98 Bolt Actions. A Shop Manual by Jerry Kuhnhausen
The only really detailed gunsmithing and repair manual on these superb
actions ever printed. 100's of crystal clear photos and illustrations.
Covers troubleshooting & problem solving (including the cause of and
remedy for safety-off fires); parts identification and inspection;
parts fitting and replacement; complete repair; trigger work;
rebarreling and chambering; magnum conversions; action shortening; bolt
work; sight installation; data on reheat treating M98 receivers and
bolts for optimum use in custom sporting rifles, and much more.
The effects of firing modern high pressure cartridges in small ring
Mauser actions originally designed and barrelled for cartridges in the
approx. 37,000 to 40,000 psi range is included as a safety warning for
those unfamiliar or in need of reminding. Photographs of sectioned
receivers show receiver lug surface setback caused by firing 50,000+ psi
cartridges in M93/95 Mauser actions with moderate and softer heat
treats.
His information on setting up sear engagement, safety fitting, and barrel threading are just what you need to tune a Mauser.
I would recommend this book to anyone working on Mauser and Mauser based
rifles. The information is also of considerable help for Siamese
Mausers, Springfields, and P14/P17 Enfields, and Destroyer carbines.
There are a lot of Mauser actions around that were either not properly
set up at the factory due to wartime shortcuts, or assembled from parts
with no custom fitting.
There are pictures, history, and functional descriptions of most of the Mauser designs.
A great book for the amateur and professional gunsmith.
