It is chambered in 30-06. I think?        Rusty We Band of Brothers! DRSS, NRA & SCI Life Member "I am rejoiced at my fate.

Oberndorf sporting mauser made for the US market. Probably imported by Tausher. I can't see the serial number clearly but by the looks of the butt plate its pre WWI. | |||

The action appears to be stamped "WAFFENFABRIK MAUSER - OBERNDORF A/N" and the barrel rib appears to be stamped "WAFFENFABRIK MAUSER A.-G. OBERNDORF AM NECKAR" - both indicating commercial Mauser manufacture. The receiver ring seems to be stamped "U.S. 1906" and the barrel shank is stamped "7,68" - both indicating .30-06 caliber. Also, the "Germany" stamped on the floorplate indicates a commercial import into the U.S.A. Good looking rifle. Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||

Rusty, you're going to want this or something like it to fill that big dovetail cut in the rib. ______________________________ "Truth is the daughter of time." Francis Bacon | |||

Butchloc, I will raise the offer to $30.00 - You going to keep bidding? "There is a bloody brave little animal called the honey badger in Africa. It may be the meanest animal in the world.

That kind of stippling is done with a point punch many thousands of times. The surface is a bunch of "dots" so small and close together it looks like shading. There are some multi-point stippling punches out there that are faster, but require some skill to use. I like that and hatching, too. "Experience" is the only class you take where the exam comes before the lesson. | |||

Met DirtyJim and Alan out at the range Tuesday afternoon. I got the tangent sight and got to enjoy meeting a couple of great AR Members! Rusty We Band of Brothers!

Here is an update on the rifle.   Looks a lot better without that ugly piece of brass! Does anyone have some kind of ball park value on this rifle? I can't seem to find much in my Gun Values Book!
