Sorry for the confusion, in post 9 it was mentioned that there was a Swedish bolt release involved. My post just indicates there is no mistaking a swede action or associated parts for a 93.
Mauser and its affiliates contract produced more than one type of action for different armies (nations) in overlapping years. The Swedes specked out the arguably the best due to quality of the steel.
Not trying to be mean either but theirs no incomplete thoughts here, I know a little thing or two about Mauser's but not everything because when I first started building rifles I studied them before I built them myself. Part of that is understanding the mechanism your working with.
It's a shame a lot of records were lost due to fires or during the war, but due to the popularity of the platform and the groundbreaking achievements associated with the design there is a lot of published material that can be used as a reference. A myriad were made in all sorts of styles and configurations that does lead to some confusion. Probably due to the fact that the strengths and weakness's of the evolution of the design were implemented into the next model, certain similarities exist between design changes. Even with that, there are a few models in their basic form that are used to establish a type that is used as a standard.
Right now, I'm speaking in turns of Mauser or affiliate built examples, there is also a plethora of civilian offerings to consider as well that can lead to confusion without a certain means of familiarity.
There is a Swedish bolt release involved. I did not mean to imply by pointing that out that the action is Swedish. It most certainly is not.
