Hello all, my name is Mike, and I am new too the forum and to the Mauser. So I picked up a type 24 mauser this weekend for pretty cheap. After I got it home, I realized I should have gone over it a little more. There is a piece on the back of the bolt that is cracked. Im afraid to fire it like this. I was wondering if any of you could tell me if I have to get a bolt strictly for the 24, or if any Mauser bolt will work. Thanks for the help all.
