misunderstandings happen.....I suspect Paul Mauser asked his machinists to make him a small ring '98 with a dovetailed sight and they misunderstood...it happens that way sometimes.

Isn't the freebore supposed to be at the end of the chamber and not the end of the muzzle? Big Grin

Hmm, wonder what he thinks TLC means?
TIDE, LYE, Caustic ?
or
Total Lost Cause?

The receiver ring dovetail looks consistent with work done on original Oberndorf commerical Mausers at the factory. Lots of pictures of such things in the book by Jon Speed, Walter Schmid, & Reiner Herr. Here's a picture of another commercial rifle with the claw mount in the dovetail:http://www.gunsamerica.com/guns/976600191.htm
