AlexanderS, you have a very nice staking rifle from what I've seen so far! Sorry I can't help with the photos - but here's Rothhammers way below How to Post Photos to NitroExpress - Revised
Looking for a very simple to use, free hosting site that works on NE?
This photo sharing site works: picr.de . They now require registration, but there is no charge to use their basic service.
I had posted complete (easy, free) instructions previously, they have now changed to an even easier system where you simply 'drag and drop' your images to post.
Here's how:
1) Go to picr.de, translate if necessary (it's in German but is very to use even if you don't sprecken Deutsche).
2) Go to your stored images (with picr.de still open, both displayed on your screen) and 'drag' desired photo to the shaded area on the picr.de screen. Repeat as necessary for additional photos.
3) After picr.de lists the coded filenames of the photos (they will appear as lines of text on picr.de screen), highlight them, press 'control - C'. They are now ready for transfer.
4) Compose your post on NitroExpress, go to and click 'Image'. Delete 'http//' highlighted in box. Press 'Control - V', then the 'OK' box which will transfer images to your post.
Your images will post for all to see.

The image above was posted using picr.de as described.
Here's the link: picr.de

Why, Certainly.
These were posted to NE using the method detailed above.
'Easy peasy' , it took but a few minutes:

And for an added extra bonus, from the 1939 Stoeger (US) catalog:

Hi Alex,
A nice find , really factory engraved action.
But a few questions come up.
#1. Where is east Germany ?
#2. What makes you believe it´s a magnum magazine box. The action is standard length single square bridge.A magnum magazine box would not fit.
#3. A picture of the barrel shank could help to classify correctly. Any engraving there ?
#4. What type of barrel and sights ?

The above catalog shows the side safety and says it locks the firing pin. How does this work? Could a modern side safety such as a Sako be modified to lock the firing pin?

The measurement pictures show that the magazine box is made for the 9,3x62 ( 10,75x68)cartridge. I bet that the 8x57 barrel is not the original to that rifle.Must have been 9,3x62.

Alexander, You can post your pictures right off of your Imgbb links.
On any of your pics,,,,click on 'Imbedded Codes' on the left hand side of the page.
That will give you a list of pre-printed 'links'. Go to the 3rd one down...BBCode Place the cursor/mouse on that pre-printed link and a small box will appear at the end of the link that says 'copy' ....click on that 'copy' That saves that link for you.
Now you can simply go to your Post and paste that Link in anywhere you want to with the cursor and paste it in by doing Control/V (hold the Control key down and press V). It will paste that link into your posting.
Hope this helps.

Today my Gunsmith put out the barrel to have a look if its a small ring. And yes it is a real smallring. In the 30s Mauser did it often when they put in the front base in the receiver ring.

Large ring, but small threaded is what you describe.
