This is actually a fairly small group of models, the amount of headaches these cause (when trying to find a part or stock) is way out of proportion to the number of models. It is typified by the late FN commercial actions. This is a beefier version of the Type IV. Type V, standard length, large ring, large shank, long magazine. Main examples are the Husqvarna commercial action, and the Brno ZG47.

These are mainly commercial models, they are identical to Type II, with the exception of a longer magazine to handle 30-06 length cartridges. Type IV, standard length, small ring, small shank, long magazine. Type III, standard length, small ring, large shankĪs you can see by comparing the receiver ring diameter and the barrel shank diameter, there is not a lot of meat left in this receiver! The main example is the Kar98, and for obvious reasons, it is not wise to rechamber these to a high pressure cartridge.

This is pretty much a Czechoslovakian design, the main members of this group are the VZ33 and the G33-40, a commercial version is the VZ47. Type II, standard length, small ring, small shank Remember that the above list is not all-inclusive, the truth is, MOST M98 Mausers fall into this category. Some of the models that fall into Type I are: I am not going to list every model, that would take a book of it's own, but if your particular model is not listed, comparing the dimensions will place it into the correct category. Probably 75% or more of all Mausers produced after 1898 will fall into this category. The first group willbe Type I, these are the 'most standard' Mausers. I am going to group different actions by length, ring diameter, and barrel shank diameter.

As I found this mauser must be of those which are assembled after ww2 in czech,brno.between 1945-1950.In these models the trigger guard is different,for winter use.as mine was but I myself modified that.some WW2 german marked parts are found mixed with new production parts in this modells as It is seen from different markings(the stamp on the bolt must be german and is different from the other stamps on the receiver).What is marked on the LH side of the receiver? What is marked on the top of the front ring?
