You are a lifesaver. I just got given a mauser as a gift, was tinkering with the bolt and wasn't sure how to fix this issue. I've never worked with mausers until about 8 hours ago

Its good this video exists. I had the safety slip to the incorrect position and locked the bolt but by taking the cocking slide rectangular piece, placing it on a tables square edge and using pressure to release the locked portion back to how it was i was able to then restart and set the lock in the middle position. Guys, dont use a rim of a case, use a tables square edge and slowly uncock the bolt and twist back to starting position.

You saved me! I followed a different video telling me how to take down a Mauser 98 bolt, but he failed to mention that the safety needed to be on the middle position, so when I twisted, it decocked, and I was in a mess of trouble. I took it down to the local gun store, and the gunsmith was off till Tuesday (this was Friday), so I asked the clerk. He said to search KZitem for "Mauser Bolt Disassembly Mistake," so that's what I did. I found you, and followed your instructions, and it worked perfectly. Thanks.

I’m sure none of this was an issue a hundred years ago when they trained men how to properly do this without fucking it up but I wasn’t there the day they handed out the literature of instruction of Gewehr 98 disassembly Thanks for the tip! Sure won’t be making this mistake again Too much heartache thinking I’d broken a 100 year old rifle

Thanks for making this! I got into trouble when I first bought my Mauser for this reason. My personal favorite way is to press the sear surface down on the edge of a table without a rounded side.

Just grab the end of the firing pin with channel locks or other adequate pliers. Pull back on the firing pin and reset the safety. Many people's hands dont like the semi-sharp edges of multiple parts on that bolt assembly when having to give it a death grip to rotate it

@@GearyGunderson Truth be told, if a simple mistake like having the action lever in the wrong position was all it took to break the whole bolt. I don't think the rifle would have been very widely accepted into the German army.

There's an even easier solution to this. Just slide the bolt back into the gun and start over. It takes only a few seconds. Now if you don't have the rest of the gun with you for some reason, sure this works, but it takes just as much, if not less time to just slide it back in and just start again.

@GearyGunderson

Is the issue that the safety is just not engaging at all in the upwards or right position, then this may be the only solution. Sometimes the tolerances stack particularly if it’s not all matching or was rearsenaled. First, I would try polishing the surfaces and really trying to get them smooth and completely clean before actually filing any metal away. If you do start to file, I would do as little as possible and then check it over and over.

I have a question about disassembling the firing pin assembly, what if the safety lever is broken and the assembly is in firing position? I'm restauring a 1904 Gewehr 98 and the safety flag is broken and dont know how to put in safe to dissasemble the firing pin assembly part (i've easily manage to separate the bolt body and the firing pin assembly)
