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.

Heres some more photos, bottom of bolt, lower band, and walnut stock with groove but no takedown

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...
