Unknown bolt and trigger housing

[Admiraal]

Resently i visited a German friend of mine, we had found some things a while ago, with it where these 2 weapon parts.
We both don´t know from which weapons it could have been. Its in his possession.
The bolt was found on the edge of a fox-hole and the trigger housing further away. So NOT found together, but both from a 1945 Easternfront battlefield.
Due to time-shortage he hasn´t cleaned the parts yet, but they are in bad condition.

I know, it ain´t the best pictures.. but maybe someone recognizes it:

The trigger housing looks like from a russian PPSH.??? on first sight without doing any further research.

Yes you are right, thanks!

Now only the bolt...
Does it look like a bolt for a bolt-action rifle or semi-auto rifle?

[Maus]

Difficult to say???
Might be from a G41M?

The first looks like it belongs to a bolt action rifle - the length and shape of it makes me think it might not be military - or simply a small caliber piece like a .22 trainer.

The trigger group definitely looks PPSH to me. (I've gone through plenty of those parts kits )

Look at the spring inside the bolt!!

It does look allot like a G41M bolt!
Too bad i can´t find any good picture´s of a G41M bolt on google to compare..

A friend said it could be for the VG2. But i can´t find a good picture of this bolt as well.

It is a G41(M) bolt - Mauser design.

Most definately a G-41M Bolt.. And a trigger group for PPSH41....BILL

It appears that both pieces are being held together by the rust, and any attempt at cleaning may destroy them. If left alone the rust will start to flake off, so in the mean time the best solution might be to dip the parts in a clear varnish to seal off their contact with oxygen. The varnish can always be removed later.

G41M Bolt

The part is the G41(M) cocking handle.
