Did really know where to put this. I have a couple Invoices from Johnson Automatics Mfg. Co. for work done on 2 Mauser rifles. One is an Oberndorf Sporter # 82896 probably now in 30-06 and the other is #4170, a Kar 98, now could be in .250-3000.
Just to add I have the original barrel of 82896,
octagon to round, integral full length rib with integral front ramp.
Both Invoices are from 1946, I would be more than glad to mail a copy to the present owner(s) of these rifles. --- John

Wow, pretty cool!

What caliber is the original barrel, and would you consider selling or trading it?

The original barrel is marked 7.6S on the rib.
the underside has BS7,6.7,85.250 + the ser.#. & a 06 chambers easily but I should do a cast.
Been told it's a 30-06, why rebarrel 06 to 06 is a ?, the original is not bad so who knows.
The other odd thing is it's a small thread but a large ring shoulder.
Right now the plan is to install it into a 22H Brno action I have, they look great together. --- John
