Although this rail belongs to our Military Mauser 98 3-Hole Large Ring family, this specific version does not have pre-drilled receiver mounting holes. A qualified installer must establish the proper mounting-hole locations for the individual receiver before installation.
Product Overview
The EGW Mauser 98 Large Ring Military Undrilled Picatinny Rail provides a one-piece optics mounting platform for compatible military Mauser 98 actions with the stripper clip hump where a standard pre-drilled mounting pattern is not appropriate.
This version is supplied without pre-drilled receiver mounting holes. This allows a qualified gunsmith to establish the hole locations for the individual action rather than relying on a predetermined mounting pattern.
The rail is machined from domestic 6061 T6 extruded aluminum and finished with matte black Type II anodizing. Full-length Picatinny cross slots provide flexibility when positioning scope rings and setting proper eye relief.
This version has 0 MOA of built-in elevation and is designed around the receiver profile of compatible Large Ring Military Mauser 98 actions with the stripper clip hump.

Military Mauser With the Stripper Clip Hump
This rail is intended for the Large Ring Military Mauser 98 receiver configuration with the stripper clip hump.
That receiver configuration is one of the important distinctions between this military rail family and our commercial Large Ring Mauser rails.
Do not choose a rail based only on the rifle being described as a "Mauser 98" or "Large Ring." Military and commercial Mauser actions can use different receiver contours and mounting configurations.
MILITARY LARGE RING VERSION
This rail is designed around the Military Mauser 98 Large Ring receiver with the stripper clip hump. The rail is undrilled, so the mounting holes must be established for the individual receiver.
Why Choose the Undrilled Version?
Military Mauser rifles have been produced, rebuilt, drilled, and modified in many different configurations over the years. A receiver may no longer follow the mounting-hole pattern normally associated with its original configuration.
The undrilled rail allows a qualified installer to determine the appropriate hole locations for the individual rifle instead of forcing an existing receiver to match a predetermined rail pattern.
DRILLED VS. UNDRILLED MILITARY RAIL
Drilled Military Version: Uses the predetermined 3-hole mounting configuration with a published 4.275" center spread.
This Undrilled Version: Has no pre-drilled receiver mounting holes. The installer establishes the mounting pattern for the individual action.
DO NOT USE 4.275" AS THE CENTER SPREAD FOR THIS SKU
The 4.275" center spread applies to the pre-drilled Military 3-Hole rail. SKU 47022 is supplied undrilled, so its center spread is correctly listed as Undrilled.
Large Ring or Small Ring Mauser?
Military versus commercial is not the only distinction to consider. You should also determine whether your rifle uses a Large Ring or Small Ring Mauser action.
Use the comparison below as a visual reference. For more detailed information about receiver profiles, measurements, military versus commercial actions, and common Mauser variations, read our complete Mauser identification guide.
Small Ring vs. Large Ring Mauser Action Comparison
Not Sure Which Mauser Action You Have?
Mauser actions were manufactured in many countries and configurations. Our identification guide explains how to distinguish Large Ring and Small Ring actions and discusses the differences between common military and commercial Mauser receivers.

UNDRILLED DOES NOT MEAN UNIVERSAL
The absence of pre-drilled mounting holes does not make this a universal Mauser rail. It is still designed around the Large Ring Military Mauser 98 receiver profile with the stripper clip hump.
This Rail Does Not Fit the Mauser 3000 L
This Mauser 98 rail does not fit the Mauser 3000 L.
Even though this version is undrilled, the receiver profile must still match the military Large Ring configuration for which the rail was designed.
No Pre-Drilled Mounting Pattern
This rail is supplied without receiver mounting holes.
The installer is responsible for establishing the proper hole locations, positioning the rail correctly on the receiver, and maintaining proper alignment before drilling.
CUSTOM MACHINING REQUIRED
Accurate mounting requires properly locating and drilling the rail for the individual receiver. We recommend this work be completed by a qualified gunsmith or machinist familiar with scope-mount installation.
One-Piece Picatinny Rail
Picatinny cross slots run the full length of the rail, providing flexibility when positioning scope rings and setting proper eye relief.
The center channel reduces overall mass while maintaining a continuous one-piece optics mounting platform.
Domestic 6061 T6 Aluminum
We machine this rail from domestic 6061 T6 extruded aluminum.
After machining, the rail is tumbled, sandblasted, and Type II anodized with a matte black finish for long-lasting durability.
0 MOA Configuration
This version has 0 MOA of built-in elevation and is intended for applications where additional elevation from the rail is not required.
0 MOA VS. 20 MOA
0 MOA: Recommended for shooting approximately 0-500 yards.
20 MOA: Recommended for shooting approximately 500-1000 yards where additional scope elevation may be beneficial.
Installation
This rail requires custom drilling before installation.
The installer must determine the correct mounting-hole locations for the individual receiver and verify that the rail is properly positioned and aligned before drilling.
The current product configuration includes #6-48 x 1/4" mounting screws and a T-10 bit for final installation after the rail has been properly drilled and fitted.
After drilling and fitting, we recommend tightening the mounting screws to 20 in-lbs and applying a small amount of blue threadlocker.
Minor fitment may be required due to manufacturing tolerances and the wide range of military Mauser receivers and previously modified rifles.
GUNSMITH INSTALLATION RECOMMENDED
THIS RAIL IS SUPPLIED UNDRILLED. Correct installation requires precise hole placement, drilling, rail alignment, and verification of the individual receiver. We recommend this work be performed by a qualified and competent gunsmith.
