k98 problem

Ach Du Liebe · 05-31-2006, 08:17 PM

Ok so i got a German k98. Today i put 5 live rounds into the clip/magazine. Then i chambered one then i bolted it back, and the shell would either not fling out or it would barely fling out. Need some help. What do you guys think is the problem.

thanks,
Ach du Liebe

possibly a bent, or broken ejector. also with a mauser, how hard you work the bolt determines how fast the cartridge exits the reciever. if you just gently kinda pull the bolt back, the cartridge will not clear the reciever.

i always tell people to get "angry" with my 91/30 when the bolt doesnt want to work properly or smoothly...after a couple of slaps it gets the point and works just fine
