John,

Please research exactly what bolt you need, as though the Mexican 1910 and Yugo Mauser are intermediate actions, the bolt bodies I do not think are interchangable (the front of the bolt is different, as the two teats that stick out of the Mexican are not as long on the Yugo, as the Yugo has a extractor cutout in the barrel face).

Good discussion here:

I took the bolt from my Mexican Mauser and it closed and locked up as expected on the action missing the bolt and M98 bolts didn't.
That was my clue that it was an intermediate length action. I wasn't aware that the M48 actions had a relief cut into the barrel face, so I took a picture of the barrel face. Looks pretty clear to me that there is an extractor cut into the barrel face, so it looks like I need to look for a M48 series Mauser bolt to bring this rifle to life.

There is usually one or two complete yugo bolts on ebay. They tend to be spendy though. I've been looking for a yugo bolt for awhile myself. I wish you luck in your search
