I have found a 1909 mauser in a local pawn shop it looks to have been sporterized it looks to be in good condition, but is very cheap for a reason , it has no bolt . I do know that changing the bolt the head space will have to be checked which is not an issue . Go and no go gauges can be found and getting a gun smith involved is also not an issue.
My Question is do I need to find a bolt from a 1909 Mauser or can I use a 98 Mauser bolt out of Sarco or the like??
I am wanting to know what I am in to before I buy this one
