Rifle arrived today. Unfortunately a little damaged in transit. There's a small crack at the stock toe that I can address, but the bigger issue is that the rear claw mount base's grasping lever's cross piece cracked, letting one of the two grasping surfaces fall off the rifle. I have the missing piece. Now I need an internet source showing how these were put together back in the day to see how difficult a repair might be, especially given the fact that would still leave me with a mount and no scope fit to that mount, which is the longer putt.

I'll post pics after I have the stock off and can see any marks below the wood line. That will be in a new thread in this subforum (Mausers).

Regards,
Chris
