S/42 1936 Matching including the rod

[joryfreeburg]

I am still trying to make my photos better. I been trying to use a Sony RX100 II and also my iPhone. Sometimes I can’t get the Sony to do what I want, so I go back to the iPhone. Any additional advice from you guys on the photos is welcome along with anything on the rifle as well! So on to the rifle, it is already pic stickied on the forum: http://www.k98kforum.com/showthread.php?2240-Mauser-S-42-1936-5366-b
Back in December it popped up on GB, maybe some of you caught it. I was looking at it on GB and came to the index here to study the year and maker and boom it was the same rifle. Obviously I ended up with it. It’s a really nice rifle besides the bafoonery on the second band. I took better photos of that than on the original post to chronicle it.

The stock on this rifle is pretty awesome sans Bubba

The sling is pretty neat to. I believe it to be 1936 marked, what do you guys think?

Here is the bafoonery that Bubba pulled on my fine Mauser.

It’s a long post with a lot of pictures, but what else do you have to do when your sheltering in place?

I love how crisp the stamps are in the stock. Gotta love walnut. I would like to see a better pic of the bolt flat.

I threw in one of the extractor as well. Hopefully it’s a little better

Alot of these rifles will have a red ink-stamp date in the barrel channel.
If you ever have it apart again, would appreciate a look.

Thanks,

Congratulations.
I didn’t see that one and don’t know what you paid for it ( and don’t want to know)but had I’d seen it on gunbroker I would have given you a run for your money!

I’m really looking for a nice S42 and S42G. And yes. I know they’re not cheap

Very nice! Looking at the damage done to that band made my stomach turn!
