As a child I had a 1908 Brazilian Mauser, and I idiotically sheared the tip off of the firing pin. I have let the rifle sit for more than a decade, and am now interested in replacing the firing pin, but I need some information to find the right part.
1. Is the firing pin for the 1908 Mauser interchangeable with any other Mauser model? Perhaps the more common Gew 98?
2. Where can spare parts for these rifles be found? Other than a $60 "improved" firing pin from Midway, I see very few surplus parts for sale. Am I merely looking in the wrong places?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
