I noticed they don't list the bolt you need but if you give him a call, he might have one. It
's a wild place to visit. There are actually a couple of pallets of old Enfields and Mausers rusting out by the front gate. They had millions of parts and thousands of guns before the old man died and most of the inventory got sold off. Another option is to Google Mark Kubes in Fl.-he changed his web address and I'm not sure what it is. He's got a lot of stuff as well.

Sorry for the late reply, As a general rule the strongest action is considered to be the '98 variants ie: large-ring. Of these, the Persian and Czech's are supposedly a bit better as far as fit-and-finish. Currently, the most common and easiest to find are the Yugo's (M-48, M-24\47, etc.)which are a breed of their own as the action is a bit shorter than a regular large-ring '98. These are often found in excellent cond. and there are still a few in unissued\as-new cond. The Swedes are great guns and are usually very accurate, these are most commonly found in the '96 model designation chambered for the 6.5x55 cartridge. This action isn't as strong as the large-ring but is more than sufficient for this chambering, and is a cock-on-closing action rather than the more common cock-on-opening action. This is just a small sampling of the actions\models available but maybe it'll help a bit. BTW, there is a very informational brochure sold by Brownells - World's Largest Supplier of Firearm Accessories, Gun Parts and Gunsmithing Tools that is a brief history of Mauser, and it has a lot of info on several of the variants for less than $10.
