Mm410b blued bolt?
- Thread starter flynaked
- Start date
A lot of questions here,
Buttplate should be "plastic" with the mauser logo.
The 4 (could be 3) digits stamped on (under) the lever should be the last 4 digits of the rifle's s/n
Recessed (or milled) bolt face, normally not encountered on M series (ms420B, 350B or mm410B). Have a look here : https://www.myersarms.com/mauser-small-bore

Impressed, 4 Mm410B!
I'have only one Mm410B, un-recessed bolt eagle proofed.
As far as I know all Ms350B present an un-recessed bolt (mine for sure), concerning my 3 Ms420B one has a recessed bolt.
Could you post picture of recessed an un-recessed bolt's face as English is not my mother tongue

Eurydice,
I’ve seen some of your rifles posted, you have some real beautiful Mausers! A good friend talked me out of the rifle rifle with the m/m bolt just last week, so I can’t take pictures tonight but I’ll grab some next time I’m over there. The others are mostly identical, here are some extractor differences though.

Really hard to tell the years of manufacture from the table and narrative in the Speed book. Mine was acquired and imported from Sweden by the guy I bought it from. My guess, given the high serial number range. is that it was made in mid to late 1944. There was a lot of trade between Germany and Sweden of raw materials like iron ore for finished goods throughout the war. My speculation is that this rifle was sent to Sweden then. But who knows..... Appreciate any comments about how to determine a more precise manufacturing date.

My rifle is a 219, and the bolt face looks identical to those shown above. Bolt handle, bolt plug (good use of original nomenclature GEM!) and safety are blued, bottom of plug and cocking piece are polished.
The only determination of dating that I know is the BU vs Eagle stamp. To my knowledge there is no further information available.

According to the response to your thread, I suppose that you rightfully assumed that was typical...

I think lightly oiled is best to provide lubrication and corrosion protection. Grease can dry if not cleaned and possibly impede the firing pin.
