Good question. First question for you, WHAT BRAND? There are a couple dozen scope mount brands. Your best option is to go to the manufacturer's charts and look up the numbers. If they are the same then they should interchange. NEXT Question for you???  Which 93 Mauser. (and who made it?) There are several. The Spanish are probably the most commonly discussed. At the same time there were 91's, 93's, 95's, '96's that are very similar... but not always the same. You need to ID the gun exactly and go to the manufacturer's listings and find the gun(s) and compare. It should be close, but if not... pain and you buy the right ones. With the info you posted, no one can answer, sorry. LUCK.

thanks for the reply. the thing is, on midway and brownells, i can't find any mounts for a '93 mauser at all. but looking at my gustaf '96 they look identical. i do not know where the '93 was made. i was curious if i bought one for a '96 if it would work. if anyone knows where they are listed for sale then please let me know. thanks all

Forgot, gettin old... Re: mauser 93 questions

Forgot Swedes had a Mauser cavalry carbine, model 94. Those were surplussed before my time.

Another question??? Which scope. World of difference, almost between a Weaver K2.5 (if still around), straight bell, and some "Whitetail all nighter" with a 60mm bell. That takes extra high rings... extra

If you go to the major suppliers like Brownells or Midway, both take email questions, they should be able to compare ###'s for you. Brownells especially.  Or try the major "makers." Leopold. Tasco (I think it is back). Burris. Weaver. They make the fittings--rings and mounts, just low demand so it is not on the shelf at every Kmart/Walmart. I am guessing, repeat guessing, that it could be fitted with some shim stock if necessary. Maybe a pass with a file. (After "drill and tap" by machinist.) No big deal on a small caliber. Not the way I would go for a blaster for dangerous game... I am shocked that you say you cannot find 93 mounts. But I remember when Sears sold Spanish 93's for $12.95 on sale and 7x57 ammo was a couple cents a round in 100s... FMJ of course. The surplussing of the Swedes is more recent.  I would be shocked if Brownells doesn't have a set of mounts "in house" of some brand. It is awful easy to get lost on the inet displays, for me anyway.

Often if you take the wood off, you can find a proof on the underside of the front receiver ring where the barrel screws in with date and country of proof if not maker's marks. Strong light helps. Sometimes there is "makers' code" in the serial number. I seem to recall that "byf" was Orbendorf in the NAZI German 98's which helps not at all here. I'd pull the wood, copy off what I find and email Brownells, but that is me. Luck.

Size wise yes as they are bith SR Mausers.  However if either is already D&T'd then the mounts (2 or 1 piece) will need to fit the hole spacing.

  MrBigTexan,

   I went through this with a few sporterized Mausers a while back, the only two piece mount available is a single model set of the aluminum weaver, and they are generic for "small ring" Mauser actions. I ordered my set(s) from midwayusa. they worked on the 93, 95, and swede 96.

  Leopold and redfield make a one piece base for the large and for the small ring mausers each, I haven't ever had an "intermediate" action (the Yugo 48) so I am uncertain how the one  piecers fit for it.

  The tops of the receivers from gun to gun are close but not exact and shimming, or turning down of the mount to match up the scope alignment may be neseccary.

  Hope this helps, and good luck, my scoped Mausers all ended up being good shooters.
