Thank you for the help! The firing proof on the receiver is there, if only barely. The stock is definitely cool too. All together, I really couldn’t be happier with my first imperial rifle.

Thank you Thank you, the bolt appears to have been poorly forced match to the receiver, but the stock is a mismatch to both, but is matching to the metal hardware on it, I can provide better pictures of the bolt/other hardware if it’d be helpful. Would the acceptance mark be the crown O or the...

Hello everyone Been lurking for a while on here, figured I’d introduce myself with my first German Mauser purchase Got this from an older gentleman on a local trader forum for 600. It’s a total mixmaster from what I can tell, but the bore is nice, and should make a good shooter. The story was...
