Hi guys!
I've posted in other areas of this great forum and only own 2 of these rifles. One is a "dipped" common Russian rework that is import marked I use as a "shooter" and this gun which I bought from a vet who lived next door to my parents since the 70's.
He sold the rifle to me with a set of death head binoculars in the early 90's while I was visiting my folks. He didn't talk about the war but said he picked them up when his unit liberated a camp.
I never got intel on where he served or what camp because I wanted a nice 8mm Mauser to shoot. My parents moved soon after I bought the rifle and the vet has been gone for a long time.
I "sinned" by shooting the rifle for a few years and then realized it was something special.
So, here are the photos ... I have no idea as to how authentic it is only having seen this type 1 variation in Richard Law's book.
Please let me know what the experts on this forum think.
I've posted plenty of photos for you guys to look at. The bolt is mismatched which I think is correct for this rifle?
Any comments are welcome!
THANKS!
Mark
