Post Your Factory Mismatch Rifles Here

[morticianman1990]

Hello all,

I wanted to start a thread where people could post factory mismatch rifles. I recently acquired a rifle which is believed to have a factory mismatch bolt. I am just curious to see how many rifles like this are out there, what types of mismatches are most common et c. If you have any rifles with factory mismatches let's see them!

Starting the thread, here is my latest acquisition, a MO 1938 C block: 3702 C with 8702 C bolt.

I did the best I could do without good lighting in my house and no photography knowledge

Thanks for the complements gentlemen!

Congrats on your rifle! Who doesn’t like a nice set of stripes? M/m isn’t common but they come up often enough, also factory reclaimed parts.

Clay, thank you! And I haven't been on the scene for too long but I dont think I've seen a factory bolt m/m, it's interesting since this bolt is completely matching to itself. I've usually just seen flipped numbers or a digit +/- 1. Would be cool if we got some people with different types of m/m to post some pics

You've just about blown your original topic with those stripes. Should have given us advance notice.

Thanks for the input! I would imagine the 3 to 8 or visa versa would be the most common "typo".

I've found the current collection to have a lean toward MO, and that one is nice. Very nice pick up. Definitely worthy of an in depth post.

Pic 6 really does it for me. Great contrasts. The lumber looks excellent and I also love the contrast of the silvery vs. the thin blue. Looks killer. Great looking example.

Sweet gun.

Nice flame in that wood! I have a nicely flamed original piece of walnut on my '42 dated Port. My avatar is the stock WaA. Interesting to think that to the Germans, these were just pieces of wood used in production, and nothing special.

Late to the party, but I'll play. This is a 'd' block CE 41 with corrected rear sight slider, ladder and base numbers. The second character of the serial number was mistakenly struck, then corrected with the appropriate over-stamp.

I'll go with that being legit all day Pat. Looks like he did all 3 pieces with the 4 then realized the error.

That was my impression!

You're not too late, I was hoping for people to be able and post their mismatch examples at any point in the future. I find this subject rather interesting. It seems there really wasn't any protocol for these situations
