Re: What have we here?

Quote:

Based on the photos and description of the markings, it is similar but definately not a factory Mauser "Army Hunting Rifle Type C". The stock is totally different. Nice looking rifle however.




Dons, yes, it does not have a C stock.

But see page 227 of Olson's book.

The rifle Olson shows looks very much like the one here. He calls it a "Army Hunting Rifle". Is there such a thing? In other words, were rifles made with the stock show here and in Olsons book that were called army hunting rifles but did not have the C stock? Maybe? Or is this a mistake on Olson's part?

Except for the double triggers it looks spot-on to me.
