Hi,
New to the Forum and to this Erfurt. I can see that it is mixed up in many ways (not all numbers match, it has a the wrong sling swivels, the hand guard is too short, the stacking rod is truncated, etc) but would appreciate any help figuring out what all this might mean. What do any of these modifications tell us about the rifle? Does the bolt appear to be ground down and the serial number re-stamped? It is packed with cosmoline so trying to figure out how far to take it with the cleaning.
Thanks for any input.
