I’m not certain if Mauser offered a shotgun style trigger guard on any of their cataloged models. I don’t think they did.

i think this is the conclusion I’m coming to. Damn. So had they completely done away with slabs by say the 1930s? And did oberndorf never produce “full” slabs?

Thanks for the links Rothhammer. Interestingly that first one with the full slab sides also has a shotgun trigger bow... although it’s not a very original looking rifle so maybe that bits changed. I do like the stock though. In fact I think I like slab sides, just trying to decide if I like them enough to deviate from my initial desire of creating as close to an original as I realistically can in terms of style - my action is marked 1937
