[NorCalK9.com]

Ok so I got a 1915 mauser yesterday I cleaned the barrel real good cleaned the outside of the bolt a little bought some 6.5x55mm ammo loaded it up bout 30 mins ago after 3 mins a fear n adrenaline squeezed the trigger and............... Nothing. does any of you mauser experts live near the tracy area have time to look at it? I will definitely pay you if you can get it working or lead me in the direction of what to do to get it working my guess is no or broken firing pin.

^what he said.

also...nothing as in "no go bang", or not even "click". If that's the case there may be a problem in the trigger and/or cocking piece. Everything on mauser rifles is REALLY simple. You should be able to figure it out in no time.

so whats wrong with the pin...broken?

I'm assuming this is a small ring swedish mauser. Unless it's a custom. Here's your replacement firing pin.

*edit*....I guess it helps if I post the link huh? http://www.gunpartscorp.com/catalog/...40&catid=11948

also I just saw your other thread. Too bad they cut it up so bad. I have a nice Swedish model 96 made in 1907. It's one of the best shooting rifles I own.

Did you completely disassemble the bolt? If not it's common for decades of grease to congeal and slow the firing pin to the point where it will not fire the primer. As said above are you sure you are using the proper ammo? The Swedish Mauser's were either the M/94, M/96 or the M/38. Each is dated above the chamber with it's year of production.

Can you post a photo of the receiver markings?
