New here-

Can a '96 Mauser bolt be used in a '95?

Thanks.

If by '96 you mean a bolt for the Swedish Mauser M1896 a.k.a. Carl Gustaf
and
If by '95 you mean a bolt for the Chilean/Spanish M1895

then the answer is definitely NO.

The bolt bodies have slightly different lengths: M1896 is 5.630", M1895 is 5.550"
See Kuhnhausen "The Mauser Bolt Actions" P. 40 for a photo showing the difference.
