Hi,
@boom boom
I was hoping the safety would magically work, but no, it still won't go over towards the side that locks the bolt in place. I'll look into those grinding stones. Would another safety fix the issue, or just have its own problems? Thanks for the reference.

The ammo says PrviPartizan AM2969C on one label, but the original label is in cyrllic. It seems to be from 1951? Picture below. I got some turkish ammo from gunbroker. After watching the Forgotten Weapons video about how old turkish ammo runs hot (it cracked the stock on Ian's Gewehr 98), I will store it for now and chalk it up as a learning experience.
I know what you mean about getting another Mauser. LGS had a Yugo M24 for a low price and had to restrain myself.
The box you show me is Yugo, and those are hard primered lots of time.. so order the spring, I predict your light strikes will be over..
You of course do you , do what makes you most comfortable... But I shoot Turk ammo alot.. I have no issues with it..
And there is new 8mm being made right now that is not that expensive..
