Mauser 98 engineering drawings and blueprints

I'm trying to find a set of engineering drawings and blueprints for the Mauser 98 action/receiver (preferably magnum) to create a digital model. By Mauser 98 I also mean the Mauser clones like Brno's ZKK 602, Zastava's M07 etc.

Are there any books that have detailed drawings and blueprints? Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

If you can obtain an example of said action, SIMT in Florence, SC can scan it into a CAD program. They have done some work for me making 3D printed prototype parts and it was spot on. They do machine tool work as well.


Also, try Scribd and Pinterest in the outside chance someone may have uploaded something you could use.

The last known Technical packages of M98 blueprints was supplied by a Swiss company to Israel in the early 1950s, but Israel only used it for making Parts for its existing Kar98k rifles, converted to 7,62 NATO.
IMI (IWI now) went on to make the Israeli FAL and later developments.
ZB ( Brno) was still making Kar98k ( Vz98N) in the early
1950s ( East Germany, Bolivia) but stopped and only made Sporting Rifles under Communism using Mauser principles.
FN made its own version of the M98 in the early 50s, but by 1960, this was all gone in the Military area.
Whether any of these companies still have Mauser Technical Drawings and Engineering Procedures is anyone's guess.

FN had been building 98 pattern guns since after WWI. They were a chief competitor with Brno for world contracts interwar.

They filling contracts for 98 pattern guns into the 60s.

There are historical archives there should be somewhere you could get them but I've never tried.

Any idea if the ordnance dept did any engineering analysis of the mauser actions? If they did. it should be de-classified information now and available to the public.

The last major company to manufacture traditional M98 actions was Zastava, imported by Interarms as the Mark X until the arms embargo on Serbia in the 1990s, then very briefly by Remington after the embargo was lifted.

I might have some receiver prints tucked away somewhere, but they would show standard, not magnum, length. I don't believe the Brno ZKK action is a direct 98 Mauser copy, but the Zastava is (though the cocking cam angles were changed in the '80s to ease the bolt lift). The trigger/safety arrangements on all of the commercial rifles mentioned above will, of course, be different from military or prewar Mausers.
