Sarge13,

There is no import mark anywhere on the rifle.

All the numbers match except for the bolt and trigger iron.

The upper sling mount is numbered and matches the barrel and actions...

My Dad gifted me a CE 41 Mauser with an unusual upper sling mount.

Rather than being on the side of the barrel it's directly under it. The lower sling mount is on the side of the butt stock like a...

Well as it turns out the rifle I bought isn't going to meet up to my expectations.

The guy I bought it from is a real stand up guy and is taking it back.

The search continues...

Any leads...

Thanks,

Steve

I was concerned about the wear on her too but for $750 I think I can clean her up and make her pretty...
