Small ring Mausers are the model 95 and 96's. That would include all of the Swedish Mausers, no matter the designation and the various 95's and 96's sold to latin America made by Loewe and DWM. The Spanish also made a small ring Mauser under license to DWM.

Probably the simplest way to tell if you're not real familiar with these rifles is that small ring mausers cock on closing like a British SMLE. The large ring mausers (model 98's) cock on opening like most standard sporting rifles you see around.
