Dovetail cut into the receiver ring of my 1910 MS 9.5x57MS
10/12/14 03:15 AM

I own several MS in various calibers and are familiar with them and other rifles.

This one is a very nice rifle in which someone in the past (it has the nice Steyr swing mounts now) did cut a "sizable" dovetail in the front receiver ring. It removes most of the words lower than the "Patented..." on the stippled area.

I am concerned that the rifle is unsafe to shoot.

I do have other Mausers with this size of dovetail cut in, and I generally do not worry about it.

What thoughts do you have on this? Too risky to contemplate? Or ok...?

I am not looking for " the correct answer", just examples that you may have had with your MS rifles.

I hope to get it to a Euro gunsmith to look at it for his opinion.

I will try and get a picture up soon.

Thanks
