Maybe you are trying to load the wrong cal. bullet! The Mauser is desigend to only feed from the internal magazine. The extractor claw catches the rim of the cartridge as it rides upward from the magazine. If a bullet is in the chamber, the claw of the extractor will not go over the rim of the cartridge thus not letting the bolt not to close. Trying to force the bolt close in this situation will cause damage to the extractor.

Mauser rifle with serial R 1325 flaming cannon ball on the bolt What caliber is it?
I don't think you have a Mauser - the flaming cannon ball is a US Ordnance marking, and both the M1903 Springfield and M1917 bear very close resemblance to the Mauser (both share a lot of their lineage with the Mauser). If it's either of these, it would be chambered in .30-06. However, these are not the only rifles to bear that marking. Feel free to send me photos (my email address is in my profile), and I can tell you more from those.

IF the bolt is properly installed, are you trying to close the bolt on a cartridge? The Mauser is designed to feed from the magazine- if you single load a cartridge, the extractor may not fit over the rim.
