Re: Oberndorf markings on Military actions

Actually it is the other way round, Oberndorf produced commercial Mausers with no
"Oberndorf" anywhere on the receiver. One way to tell if it is an Oberndorf it a
serial # just behind the recoil lug and another matching # on the back of the mag. box. This
serial # can also be used to establish the date of manufacture.

Should it have DSTs, they are integral to the bottom metal same as a Brno 22H, not
an after market unit installed afterwards. The trigger guard loop is also different - a bit larger
than normal. And yes you can find "Oberndorf" on almost any military Mauser - they were first and foremost an arms manufacturer. No flies on a military Oberndorf 98 based rifle but as pointed out the commercial was a bit different. TTBOMK - FWIW. --- John
