Re: K98 safety catch
Right, something weird is happening.... got the flag and took the bolt out. Now the next job is to release the little pin so I can unscrew the safety mechanism. Well, the pin releases but the mechanism doesnt unscrew and from what I can see it never will as it doesnt look like a normal K98 mechanism. Also, the catch as far as I can make out will only ever be able to sit in one place and never rotate so somethings amiss I feel.
Been trawling the net and it would seem I have an earlier bolt, so Im bolloxed Still, Ive a nice safety flag to use as a paperweight!

Hi Barry,if the safety flag is missing,the bolt will lock,the bolt must be cocked and the flag must be in the upright position before it will unskrew.here is some pictures from a 1936 manual

I can cock and dry fire the rifle, but the whole mechanism looks different to the one shown.

You sure you have a de-act K98?

LOL, yes its a K98 for sure
Heres a pic, note the bolt sticking out which prevents the safety flag I have from rotating if fitted.
Heres the same with bolt fully pulled back.
And heres the mechanism, if I depress the pin it rotates anti clockwise through 90 degrees and thats it, thee appears to be no thread?
