Large Ring - Mauser's with a Large ring have a thread shank diameter of 1.10" With 12 threads per inch. Across the face of the receiver will measure 1 3/8
Small Ring - Mauser's with a Small ring have a thread shank diameter of .980" With 12 threads per inch. Across the face of the receiver will measure 1 1/4.
The Mauser 98 and V24 would be a large ring types while the Mauser Models 93, 94,95,96 and Mexican Mauser's are small ring.0 -
It refers to the external diameter of the receiver ring. All the original military Mauser rifles didn't have the same diameter receivers. The common G 98 rifle had the large diameter receiver ring. During the First World War the Germans brought out a lighter handier rifle, ( 98AZ ), that some U.S. collectors call the Engineers Carbine, with a smaller diameter receiver. 0 -

And then we have some of the Turkish Mausers that have a large ring with the small barrel threads.

And the G33/40 should be added to the small ring type.
