My Portuguese Contract Mauser.
Picked up my Portuguese Contract Mauser Saturday. Matching serial numbers including the firing pin.( Which I launched across the living room the times trying to put it back together)

Nice looking metal on that! Do the Portuguese Mauser have a disc on the buttstock like a kar98? My Yugo Mauser does not, but I have a block of tough, but soft plastic which I use to keep the spring under tension to avoid the assembly from flying across the room!

No disc on the stock just the cartouche in the picture. I was gobsmacked when I found the firing pin was matching too.. Took me over ten minutes to find bolt face, firing pin and spring when it rocketed off across the front room.

Re: My Portuguese Contract Mauser.
Such things are known as 'Pingfeckits' in our workshop. I once spent a couple of hours machining a piece of 316 stainless, touching it on the polishing wheel and ping....... never did find it, not even when we cleared the workshop to move. These days I have little fixtures to hold things I am polishing which saves the parts and means I do not have beautifully polished thumb nails.Ncb2734 wrote:Took me over ten minutes to find bolt face, firing pin and spring when it rocketed off across the front room.
