. . . . that you mentioned Mauser factory work, because that reminded me of this rifle that sold recently which is advertised as a true Mauser Oberndorf factory made sporting rifle

I like nice rifles, but I can't afford most of them, so I've never owned an original Mauser factory sporter, but it seems to me that the inletting looks pretty crude. Is that typical?


I've only recenly come to study Mauser Factory Sporters and but have been pretty lucky and have a couple to hand. To me this dosn't look like anything I've seen. The "bible" is Jon Speed's book, also uncommon and very expensive. My main reference is here: http://forums.nitroexpress.com/postlist.php?Cat=0&Board=mauserarchive - most of what I have learnt I owe to the pictures on this NE forum, and a few pointers from Mr Petrov.
