IMO it is a German side mount, they often have serrations like this, I assume it is the same affect as a feather board instead of using cam locks. I’ve seen them on 1930’s Mauser Oberndorf products, as well as other vintage American custom rifles. I believe I have a scope and rings for this, but I can’t be for certain.

A fiendish little brain was working overtime when he inherited that rifle. What a disaster. I thought the scope base looked a little like an early Jaeger. And they really improved the Lyman 48. Is it just me, or does the chamber look jugged to anyone else?

Tim Good catch (pic 35) didn't see that first time thru. That's a game stopper right there. I have no idea how someone could machine that or why they would. Obviously you could make it that way but why. Tim it may very well be bulged or jugged as you call it. I hope there is a 3 day inspection/return policy. Just looked at auction, nope, ***ALL SALES ARE FINAL, NO RETURNS*** sad sad sad all the way around

The mount base "appears" to be a Griffin & Howe extended sidemount. Having quite a few of these, the middle cutout deep serrations do not add up to a G&H. More like an afterthought Jaeger mount. These are similar to an early Paul Jaeger sidemount extra length version. Either that or possibly a German copy. Since the rifle came out of Pottstown, PA. I will stay with Jaeger as the best possibility, considering the origin and backyard barn rifle modifications. Jaeger was based in Jenkintown, Pennsylvania. I have one of the spare Jaegers now for a Lyman Alaskan scope, not mounted. Acually, a Jaeger sidemount can be fitted to "some" G&H bases, but it is not advisable.
A rifle like this always makes one wonder what could have been done with a stock by an Al Biesen or Alvin Linden if rescued in time. It does make me appreciate my pre-war and transition Model 70s a bit more. And a custom honest early 1960s Mauser 98 in 30-06 Ackley Improved. Caveat emptor.
