[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2570864, member: 115658"] Very nice - looks like a FN Mauser - proofs on upper bolt handle - a real prize. Sounds like a complete inspection of bolt is needed. I clean & lube bolt innards with Hornady One Shot Lube & Cleaner. If used on eastern front conditions super sub freezing cold could gum up stuff. A "drop bolt test" might work on stripped bolt with round placed with bras extractor groove under extractor but mouth of case would probably hit end of barrel. The plunger fixture on the left side of the bolt shroud, when depressed will allow the firing pin and shroud to be turned out from the bolt body when cocking piece is blocked from contacting bolt body. Your rifle has a trigger type safety. [ATTACH alt="IMG_0396.JPG"]377844[/ATTACH] This is an older type FN Mauser having the old M98 bolt shroud with a low scope safety mounted on bolt. 6.5-06, 500 meter targets, Leupold 4.5-14X40 M4.
