93 spanish mauser bolt question

[twc1964]

I have an old mauser bolt that has a slight bit of pitting on bolt face. its not a complete ring , just a few pits. is ithis going to be a problem? I'm not really up on these old bolt guns, so any help will be appreciated. thx

If you are referring to the pitting around the firing pin hole. This is standard to alot of older mausers. It was caused by corrosive ammo. The gases leaked ever so slightly through the primer pocket and caused a "ring". If it is slight it won't be a problem. Picture would help.

I will try to load a pic to show you. this old warhorse is gonna be a teaching project for me as it was a rusty basketcase, I'm not worried about originality at all. just want a decent hog blaster.
