I see a Mauser stock hacked down to receive Springfield metal.

I see the right side as bad as the left, and a little "dremel" action to make room for the Lyman.

I think someone might have a good candidate for a restoration.


Possibly. Certainly more work than I'd be interested in.

And the restoration would be to a Mauser rather than a Springfield.

I went to a gun show today and there lay this same rifle. No question is was a Mauser stock and a poor job of fitting the 1903 to it.

wow, what a coincidence, assuming the rifle was for sale, may I ask what the asking price was?
