Mauser Model B stock question
      #258206 - 24/12/14 11:02 AM

I picked up an original stock from a type B that someone had added a ventilated recoil pad and cut a bolt handle relief for , both of which I plan on fixing. I have a spare 7x57 VZ24 barreled action I plan on using.
Question is what type of walnut was used on these stocks and is there a serial number listing anywhere as I have the serial stamped in barrel channel, 79927
Many thanks

79927 would make it from 1914
I am not sure where, exactly, Mauser sourced their walnut from or what type it is.
Many Oberndorf Mausers had very plain, straight grain wood, but sometimes you come across one with very nice wood.
I once had a Kurz TypeS with beautiful wood, better than any other Mauser I had ever seen.

Huvius is correct. much of the Walnut is plain but good quality walnut appearing well seasoned.

Much is also of that " orange" colour which I actually quite like. I have a B and a K in 6.5x57 and 6.5x54 respectively, of the same colouring and type. They make a handsome pair!

Best
