The Portuguese Model 1904 Model 1939 Mauser-Vergueiro rifle started out as the
Portuguese Model 1904 Mauser-Vergueiro cal 6.5 mm rifle that was developed by
Verguerio, a Portuguese Officer.

During the late 1930's Portugal adopted the Model 937-A Mauser rifle chambered
in the 8mm Mauser cartridge. Portugal then converted most of the stocks of the
Model 1904 rifle by shortening the barrel and fore-end, modifying the front sights,
and reboring and rechambering the rifle to shoot the 8x57mm (8mm Mauser)
cartridge. The 1903/39 bolt is a true oddity to be found in a Mauser rifle as it is a
Mannlicher type bolt and not a typical 98 style bolt.
Some of the features of the bolt are dual-opposed forward locking lugs, a separate
bolt head, and no bolt sleeve.
