I will readily admit that know know very little about rifles, and this question will probably prove it. I hear Mauser actions referred to as "large ring" and wonder what this is in reference to?

the diameter of the front reciever ring. the large ring mausers have a front ring that is larger in diameter than the rest of the reciever. the small ring is the same diameter front to back.

but the turkish mauser is a large ring, with intermediat thread. other mausers like the yugo i think are small ring. sporter express has a little blurb on the difference as well as steve wagners site.

Yugos are large ring, but shorter than "true" 98s.

K98As are small ring 98s.

and in adition to the above information the mexican mauser has three locking lugs like the large ring mausers and all of the true small ring mausers have only two locking lugs.

The evolution of Mauser actions from the early single shots through the end of miltary production in the 1950s provides a bewildering combination of design features. This is one of the things that makes this game so interesting!
