Congrats! I'd say you did well too. How's the bayo? Matching? Care to post some more pics of that too?

first rifle this week I saw with the wood that was not polished and made pretty congrats on a good find, plus the non repro items it came with
I think that's a pretty universal issue these days... As mentioned before, many rifles have one strike, like a mm bolt but that doesn't kill it for a collectable, IMO. It's the two strike guns to avoid. Not having a mum on an Arisaka is one strike, but a mm bolt and a ground mum is a non starter. If this byf had bad wood + a mm bolt, that really hurts.Indeed. It seems the great majority of rifles I come across in NH have messed with stocks.
..the bayonet has matching scabbard after all, it’s a 1940 EuF Hörster. I’ll post some better pics up of the rifle tomorrow.
