A tired old 1910 Model B ?
#176940 - 11/03/11 05:59 AM

Here are some photos of the 7x57 Model B (I think) that I recently obtained as "parts". Some folk have told me its too good to "part out", and the barrel is OK, so what do you all think ? It really does need a replacement stock !

Cheers - Foster

PS - I believe the buttplate is not original - maybe a Sauer ?

Clean, shiny, pitted ?

The bore has done a lot of work, it has some rounding of the lands, but is quite bright and is not pitted at all.

In that case, subject to it shooting OK, I wouldn't change it.

As ling as it;s got rifling, rounded lands are just normal from use so as long as it shoots, I wouldn't change the barrel.

Just my HO.

I've seen a hell of a lot worse Mausers that have been kept and not used for parts.

Nearly all the pre-1912 commercial Mauser Bs have the military style floorplate. If the tangent sight on your rifle were still present, you would see the purpose of that tiny flat on the barrel reinforce: It allows the tangent sight to be set in it's lowest, 100m position.
Good luck in finding an original, pre-1912 stock! These came with a round pistol grip, tapering, no Schnabel, foreend and half-oval, C-shaped side panels.
The buttlate shows the Simson, Suhl trademark instead of Mauser's then shield with intertwined WM. Otherwise it is very similar to the Mauser type. I agree with Lancaster, the stock does not look so bad from the photo. It still shows the original shape.
