There is an early Commercial Oberndorf Type B Mauser advertised at below market value
in the classified section of the 24-Hr Campfire site. Half-round barrel-Paul Jaeger mounts and Lyman 48 receiver sight.
I have a pre-war Mauser Magazine rifle catalog and this rifle is chambered in 30 Govt 06.

Ads pile up quickly there, so it will be necessary to scroll back 3 or 4 pages to find it.
Curious as to opinions on this rifle. There is a stock chip from probable recoil just behind the tang.

Not a commercial per se but a like new 1940 Suhl build of a 9.3x57 for the Scandinavian market on an early small ring. Great hunting rifle that cost me $210. A post war German build on a small ring with double sets, a spoon bolt and a little engraving and full stocked in '06. Most accurate Mauser I ever have had and maybe the best $145 I ever spent on a rifle. There are nice Mausers out there.

The Type B 30 Govt o6 is still there. One has to find the right ad, of course.

A friend's uncle brought this back after WWII, not sure exactly when. It found its way to me, it's still an 8MM.

Spoon handle, double set triggers, integral, full length rib.

I can't shoot iron sites so I've toyed with the idea of mounting a scope, but those stippled rings are too pretty... maybe a bolt mounted peep site?

Who am I kidding.... I sure don't need another rifle.

I just added a bolt peep to a friend's Holland .240 Apex for the same reason, he loves it.

I should've been more explicit Steve, was that a cocking piece site you installed?
