Thank you. I will have one on order soon.

After diggiing through some random stuff it turns out I actually have one....but It isn't doing poop. I'm soaking it in penetrating oil overnight

The bottom half of case is fingerprints. It's a clear defined ring. Looks kinda jagged in a couple spots.

Not sharpie. Just an older tarnished case

That case was from one attempt to chamber. The marks on the end are the results of it hitting whatever is in there. I will color with sharpie and re attempt. Thank you all!

Yes I'm an idiot and misworded the original reply. :) (I edited original reply for the second time to reflet that..lol). It WILL close on an empty CHAMBER. I've been using an empty case to try and diagnose things. It WILL NOT close on an empty CASE. The empty case hits something (as seen in...

Here's the bolt btw...

I see what you're saying. My apologies. I read that wrong.

I haven't been looking in the barrel. Been looking in the chamber/action with the bolt out. I know nothing about this gun other than it was inherited from my step dad who got it from someone else. So history unknown. This is first adventure into older arms.

I guess I'll have to get a bore scope. I've looked with lights t both ends of the barrel. If it's in there it has created a totally seamless (to my eyes) transition into the barrel

Bolt does close on an empty chamber with no issues at all. Thank you for the info on ammo..I won't be firing it.

Thank you for the reply...had to resize my pictures. It is not a fired round. I just pulled the slug out of the case. . I've tried surplus ammo and also Remington 8mm SP rounds. I'm sorry I don't have dial calipers to measure. See pictures of bolt. That's with a round tring to chamber. Its a...

Hey all, been trying to figure this out for a while. I have a 1914 Kar 98 that won't chamber a round. The receiver and barrel match. It does have a straight handle bolt which I understand to be incorrect. A few other serials do not match also. This isn't a museum piece or anything but I would...
