I just got one of these, also 1931. I was looking for a 7mm model 24 but couldn't resist. My first Mauser. I will post pics after I clean it up. The rear sight slide is bent, but other than that it looks like it will clean up ok. I looked at gunparts.com and it looks like the part might not be available. Anyone know if one from another model will fit?

I'd just unbend it. Done it to probably half a dozen rear sights. The metal is somewhat soft and should straighten easily. If that doesn't work, then look for replacement parts.

Yep, bent back as good as new. I was concerned it might crack. Thanks

The field gauge I ordered has arrived, and it brings bad news. What are my options to make this shootable? According to "Gunsmith Google" I might be able to find a longer bolt? That sounds like a real crap shoot.
