What parts were nitre blued on original Mausers?
Anybody know this one, or have to have a mint condition 1909 Argentine or 1908 Brazilian to look at? I know for sure the ejector spring, perhaps the whole box, pins, and several screws. But what else?

Thanks,
Todd

Todd,
I'm looking at my 1908 Brazilian (not mint but real close) right now. Near as I can tell from this one you've about covered it. The whole ejector box on this one looks nitre to me.

Todd--

Best I remember <scared now!>, going front to rear--

Front sight, Barrel band lock spring, entire ejector box and spring, extractor, trigger and sear. THere's bound to be some screws in there somewhere. [Smile]

Just looked again, and I think JBelk got all the ones I missed.
