Army Hunting Rifle?
      16/12/10 03:53 PM

I recently bought what I think is an army hunting rifle made around 1924. It should arrive in about a week. From the pictures I thought it was put together with parts from other rifles at first. At least in the pictures the barrel, action, and bolt have matching numbers so at worst I would have a nice Oberndorf action. I was going through the only Mauser reference book I have, Speed's Archive, and saw some very similar ones on page 517. Would this be a type C army hunting rifle? It has B and U proofs and the serial #88359 on the receiver ring, 9.0 H and a matching serial number on the barrel, and WAFFENFABRIK MAUSER-OBERNDORF on the side rail. The barrel is stepped, it has a barrel sling swivel and ramp type rear sight. I have a few more questions for the experts. Are all rifles marked 9.0 H in the 9x57 caliber? Any chance the ramp rear sight is original? Were there a lot of the army hunting rifles made? Anything else I should look for when it shows up? Sorry for all the questions and thanks for any help you may be able to give me.
