My ftd partial kit came yesterday, super happy with it. Sadly not complete, but behalter is beautiful, really nice paint, good marking. The chain is marked kcy, no WaA, and the brushes look unused...I have some spare oilers (no ftd's of course) in my gun show totes, so I can at least throw one...

With a 1939 dated bohler barrel with an 0,2 on the shank...I'd love to see a detailed photo spread of this rifle...

Just got a call from my buddy back in NY, he picked this up for me...says it has 2 brushes and the chain, no oiler or spoon it sounds like, but hey, I don't have an ftd, so I'll take it! It'll be on its way, I'll post it up when it comes in...

Damn, that is SPECTACULAR! Awesome score!

Yeah, man, I'm absolutely still in for one...

Everywhere, be prepared to walk, it's huge...if you are on the hunt for specifics, don't get distracted by all the bright shiny things lol...you'll be wasting time...

Yeah, Clay, I was going to say that looks like an M1917 box....still a cool piece!

If someone pays $5k for that thing, they are, 100% beyond a doubt, by definition, stupid. Regardless of the rest of your points.

lol...

I bought this house last year, tell me all about it...heres a pic of one of the bricks... Seriously, what can anyone say based on those photo's...you'll have to get lots more for any info.

Just my swag, that soutache looks pretty dark, I'd say maybe Pioneer...looks like it might be black... Belt and Y's are leather, not web, not that necessarily means anything...just an observation.

Yep, there it is, either way, definitely not German...

A lot of Chinese Mausers were made in field shops, or small factories doing their thing, a lot of not documented marks on Chinese stuff, that doesn't look German at all to me...

Chinese made Mauser maybe....

Man, that take down disc, it hurts the eyes! Shiny! Bolt looks pimp shined too...

Don't know, likely you'd at least need to take some scrapings from the wood, which would impact the stock, so I don't think i would if it had to be destructive means...but maybe they could use a flouroscope or something? Never researched how to do it...

It could be, but no real way to tell unless you get it tested...

When they are pointing out the bolt cut out, it is the edges you need to look at...see how sharp and defined the edges are in the picture posted by Bruce? Now compare to the rounded smooth edges on yours, a surefire, telltale sign of sanding. Also, as was pointed out, the button on the recoil...

I wouldn't shoot it, it looks like some good set back on the recoil lug which could be the reason for the crack in the laminate behind the receiver...

Just let us know how and when we need to pay, looking forward to it, like I said my copy is the original OG version...lol...
