I have bought this mauser a year ago unseen for aprox US$275, from a guy that lives some 500 KMs away from here.
This is however the first time I see pictures of it. The gun was described to me over the phone, but I never realized it was a smallring mauser. I never thought I should have asked

!!
I will pick up this gun here the spring, since I have another doing up there

The Mauser is an Oberndorf Mauser, marked so. The barrel starts out round, but then turns to octagon to then round again. It has weaver scopebases on( which I`LL tear of)
The serienumber is 8xxx.

I know early mauser had militarystyle release on the bottom metal. Could this gun be a transition model??.
