INCITED BY HUNTING

B OLT A CTION INNOVATION

GUN MAKING IN THE 21 ST C ENTURY

With the development of the bolt action rifle 98 towards the end of the 19th century, the Mauser brothers set a milestone in gun making history. Up until today the 98 action has formed the basis for the hugely successful models M 98 and M 98 Magnum. The M 98 action today is manufactured according to the original drawings but with the most modern of manufacturing methods.

By launching the M 66 in 1966, Mauser introduces a new bolt action rifle which is thoroughly tailored to the demands of hunting. The revolutionary telescopic construction makes it approx. 6 cm shorter than the M 98 action while accepting the same ammunition. Just like the M 98, the M 66 system lays the foundation for extremely rugged bolt action technology.

The introduction of the M 03 in 2003 marks the dawn of a new era for the Mauser company. The M 03 represents once again the successful alliance of traditional Mauser values and modern qualities such as modular construction, versatility and perfection in design. The M 03 will ensure that the name Mauser maintains a leading position in rifle manufacturing far into the future.

History

M 03 S YSTEM The M 03’s safety and reliability as well as its versatility are achieved by a clever pairing of modern materials and technical design. The alliance of various factors such as the solid steel action and high quality-trigger in combination with the straight stock and cold hammer forged barrel result in the M 03’s exceptional precision and performance.

Mauser Manual Cocking Safety System: The M 03 is cocked manually just prior to shooting. Cocking: Move the cocking lever to the right into the “Fire” position (Fig. 1). De-cocking: Press the de-cocking button; cocking lever slides back to the “Safe” position (Fig. 2).

3

Bolt Lock: In the un-cocked status the bolt is locked to prevent unintentional opening. It can be opened by pushing the cocking lever beyond the “S” position without cocking the rifle (Fig. 3).

Advanced Magazine Construction Detachable magazine. Open Receiver enables rapid, easy loading from above even with inserted magazine (Fig. 4). High magazine capacity, lockable magazine release button – for tough hunting conditions the magazine can be reliably secured against loss.
