Hello all....new to the forum. I’m working on a Mauser sporter .275 project and have a question. I’ve seen several Mauser sporters with steel buttplates and some with the plastic (or looks to be plastic) buttplate with the Mauser logo. Can someone educate me on the subject. Did only certain models use the steel or was it certain years? The rifle I’m building will be a pre-war style and wondering which would be correct. I was able to find a reproduction of the Mauser logo style and it looks to be an exact copy of the originals I’ve seen. I also have a curved steel plate as well.
I do have the “Original Oberndorf Mauser sporter “ book on order and I’m sure it will answer a lot of questions. But until it arrives I appreciate any input.
A wealth of ideas and information on Mausers here, I have read over nearly every Mauser topic on the search list and I know I haven’t even scratched the surface on the Mauser sporter.
